The hijack checked, Franklin bet, the player in the button called and the hijack folded.

Franklin showed 7x5x4x3x2x for the best possible hand and took down a big pot.

Livello 5

Justin Liberto raised on the button and was called by the player in the big blind.

Liberto's opponent drew two and Liberto drew one. The big blind then check-folded facing a bet from Liberto, who is up to 31,000 in the early stages of the tournament.

Liberto will be looking to run deep after getting runner-up in gut-wrenching fashion last night in Event #24: $1,500 Razz after being up nearly 14:1 at one point against David "ODB" Baker.
