Level 28 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 9

Nick Peticca (Philadelphia, PA)
$3,744

Nick Peticca opened to 160,000 from the hi-jack after the action folded to him.  Justin Liberto would call from the small blind and Staffan Lind (big blind) would call as well.  The flop would come out J♠ 3♦ 8♥, and both Liberto and Lind would check to Peticca.  Nick would bet out 250,000 and both players would call.  The turn would bring the 2♥, and once again both players checked to Peticca, who would go all-in for 1,530,000.

Liberto thought for about three minutes before cutting out the chips for a call.  Once those chips were in his hand he thought for another few moments and put them across the line.  Lind would then start eyeing Liberto's stack before also making the call.  There would be three to the river, with one all-in, and the 7♣ would be tabled.  Both Liberto and Lind would go check-check, and players waited for Peticca to table K♠ J♥.  Liberto quickly turned over A♠ J♦, and Lind would look back at his cards before mucking.  Justin now assumes the chip lead once more with just over 9,000,000.
