Liberto Ratchets Up the Variance to the Benefit of Murphy

Level 19

Thomas Ricketts: Ax2x9x/3x7xKx2x
Liam Murphy: Ax7x10x/8xQx6xKx
Justin Liberto: XxXxXx/6xKx7x6x

After four bets each were put into the pot on third street which led to Thomas Ricketts being all in, Liam Murphy and Justin Liberto continued on with a side pot.

On fourth street, Ricketts caught good, Liberto caught a king and check-called a bet from Murphy's queen.

Fifth street saw Liberto and Murphy pick up good cards and after Murphy bet, Liberto raised. Murphy called, commenting on how Liberto had been ratcheting up the variance again after the third street raising battle.

Liberto bet sixth street and Murphy called, then finally on seventh street both players slowed down and checked.

Ricketts had made a nine by the end which was good enough for the main pot, while Murphy held a ten, which was good enough to claim the side pot as Liberto mucked his hand.
