Biography

Before becoming a professional poker player, Maryland��s Justin Liberto worked in sales after graduating from Virginia Tech. A sports and music aficionado, Liberto has amassed over $4.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings (as of January 2023) according to the Hendon Mob.

That includes a career-high $640,711 for topping a field of 1,043 entries to win the 2015 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #51: $3,000 No-Limit Hold��em 6-Handed for his first gold bracelet at the age of 26. That same year, four-time gold ring winner Liberto won the ��Best All-Around Player�� at the WSOP Circuit stop in his hometown of Baltimore, MD (at the Horseshoe Casino), which qualified him for the 2014-2015 WSOP Circuit National Championship tournament at Harrah��s Cherokee.

Two years earlier at the 2013 WSOP, Liberto finished fourth out of a massive 6,343-entry field in Event #6: $1,500 NLH Millionaire Maker for $400,408. Amazingly, he��d make another deep run in the Millionaire Maker five years later in 2018, ultimately finishing in fifth place for $303,294.

��When I came to the series a few years ago and finished 4th in the Millionaire Maker that allowed me to bypass some steps that most players would normally have to go through,�� Liberto said. ��I was careful not to overshoot my goals after that. Now, getting this win just makes things a lot easier.��

Other big scores from Liberto��s career include fourth place in the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open (SHRPO) $5,400 Championship for $305,955; sixth in the 2015 World Poker Tour (WPT) Borgata Winner Open for $140,878; winning the 2019 WPTDeepStacks Maryland $1,500 Main Event for $116,363; and claiming victory in the 2019 Wynn Summer Classic $1,100 NLH for $94,659.
