Liberto Wins a Battle of the Blinds
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Justin Liberto in the small blind and he completed. Dwane Collard then put in a raise and Liberto called, bringing the flop 
. Liberto checked and Collard made a continuation-bet of 70,000. Liberto called.
The turn came 
and Liberto checked again. Collard fired a second barrel of 110,000 and Liberto check-raised to 305,000. Collard thought for a moment and then called. Liberto then tapped the felt again on the river 
and Collard checked behind to take the hand to showdown.
Liberto showed 
for trip fours, which was good for the pot.
