Big Stax 1100 (Day 1A): Getting Over The Loss

Level 4 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Day 1A Entries: 97

The Orioles loss in the ALCS may still sting Justin Liberto (Baltimore, MD) just a bit, but building up a big stack and putting a solid number in the bag could change that mood.  Approaching Table 52, Justin Liberto was heads-up on the flop of 4 4 9, and checked the action to his opponent on the button.  With a pot well over 20,000 already, his adversary announced himself all-in, and Liberto immediately through in chips signifying a call.

The cards were turned over and Justin would be in dominating shape, holding A♠ A♦ against Q♠ Q♣.  The paint card on the turn brought a slight sweat to Liberto, but a five on the river sealed things for him, and he'd chip up to 90,000.
