Big Stax 1000 (Day 2): Liberto Bounced

Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000 (Chip Average: 423,000)
Players Remaining: 49

Justin Liberto (Philadelphia, PA) has gone from one of the chip leaders to out of the tournament.  The hand that he mucked and would of won dropped him to 700,000, and then he played a big pot with Salah Siraj (West Orange, NJ) and lost.  Liberto's final hand would be against Siraj as well, as the hand started with Liberto flatting Siraj's open on the button.  The flop came out 10♠ 7 4, and after Siraj led out, Liberto raised.  Siraj three-bet all-in (having Justin covered) and Liberto called:

Liberto: 7 4        Siraj: A J

Flop: 10♠ 7 4

Turn: 10

River: x

Siraj is now over 1,000,000 and is sitting comfortably as we sit on the money bubble (49 players remaining).
