Big Stax 500 (Day 3): Liberta Gets Some Back, Gretchen Departs

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000 (Chip Average: 1,500,000)
Players Remaining: 13

Joe Liberta gets some of his chips back in a hand versus Jamey Rimshnick, as Liberta goes all-in for 270,000 on the flop of 10 4 7.  Jamey calls and Liberta shows A A, while Jamey flips over Q J.  Rimsnhnick turns a jack, which we're sure made Liberta a little sick, but a duece on the river would solidify the hand for Liberta and he would chip up to 900,000.

While the hand was going on, over at Table 58 we would have another player eliminated.  Mike Azzaro opened the pot for a raise and when the action was on Gretchen Allen (Red Lion, PA), she would three-bet shove for 700,000.  Abe Faroni would make the call and Azzaro would end up folding behind.  The hands would be opened and it would be the A Q of Allen against the Q Q of Faroni.  Faroni would win the hand after the board would run out, and chips up to 2,400,000.
