button in SafariLiu Lands on His Feet
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Players were already on the turn with a pot of around 5,000 and looking at the 4♥2♣Q♠6♣ board. Jason Liu was in the hijack and in the hand with his neighbor Robert Pagano in the cutoff.
Pagano bet 5,000 and Liu jammed for his last 9,200. Action was back to Pagano who was taking a little time to consider his options. He checked his cards, and counted out his stack minus the call, before he put the chips in the middle and put Liu at risk of elimination from the Main Event.
Jason Liu: Q♥Q♦
Robert Pagano: K♥Q♣
Liu was ahead having flopped the set, and there was no way for Pagano to come back and take the pot. He picked up his own hand, turned it over and threw it into the muck as the dealer placed the 10♠ river.
