Ligeri Phones a Friend

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Justin Ligeri has had {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} cracked by the {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} of Michael Bailey this level, the majority of the money flying in on a {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board. "I need the board to pair," said Ligeri when the hands were on their backs (a ten or running pair would counterfeit the three-four). The turn and river were the {5-Clubs} and {j-Spades}, however, and Bailey received a double through worth 70,000 x2.

Ligeri was immediately up and out of his seat, on the phone, saying, "I just lost a monster with pocket aces and I played it wrong..."
