Hand #86: Liberto opened for 330,000 from under the gun, Bennington called on the button, and the flop fell {A-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Lioberto led out for 330,000 and Bennington flatted to see the turn of {K-Diamonds} hit the board. Two checks later, and the {2-Hearts} materialized on the river, prompting Liberto to lead out again, this time for a 525,000 wager. Bennington looked him up and tabled the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a pair of aces, good enough to take it down.

Hand #87: Chen opened for 325,000 holding the button, and Gray called out of the small blind. Liberto saw an opportunity to squeeze, and he three-bet to 865,000, a wager which both Chen and Gray called to build a huge multiway pot.

Flop: {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

With a ragged board, Gray checked to the raiser, and both Liberto and Chen checked behind.

Turn: {10-Diamonds}

The three players again checked down, perhaps fearful of committing themselves to such a large pot.

River: {8-Hearts}

Gray was finished playing coy, and he pushed a bet of 1 million forward, forcing Liberto to fold. Chen held {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top pair with a good kicker, however, and he looked Gray up. With just {K-}{Q-} for no pair, Gray was caught making a move, and the massive pot was pushed towards Chen.

Hand #88: Feeling flush with newly acquired chips, Chen put them to good use with a raise of 325,000 from under the gun. Bennington called to defend his big blind, and the flop of {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} brought an action board. Bennington checked, however, and folded when Chen fired a 425,000 bet his way.
