Liberto Beats Cahill for the Event #51: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max Bracelet
On Day 4 of Event #51: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max the final two plaeyrs from a 1,043-player field returned to play down to a winner. It all came down to Ireland's Seamus Cahill and the United States' Justin Liberto, who were battling it out for the bracelet and a $640,711 first-place prize.
The former will hold 9.73 million in chips to the latter's 5.925 million at the start of play, and while things were relatively close, it'd take just 18 hands for a winner to emerge. According to updates from the event, the final hand came when Liberto moved all in and a short-stacked Cahill called off.

Cahill had major kicker issues, and they failed to get resolved as the board ran out a clean . Cahill had to settle for runner-up and $395,986 in prize money, while Liberto took home a long-awaited bracelet.
Mom always told me I was saving the win for a big one. This would qualify as big. #momknowsall #legggggggo #thanksXamillionFollow @JustinLiberto
