Steve Brecher has the button in seat 3.

Brecher raises from the button to 95,000, Liebert reraises from the small blind to 600,000, and Brecher thinks for a little while before he moves all in. Liebert calls with AK, and she dominates Brecher's AQ

The flop comes KJ5, and the crowd applauds as Liebert pairs her king, but Brecher picks up a gutshot straight draw.

The turn card is -- the 10! Steve Brecher makes his straight to take the lead, and Liebert needs a queen on the river to chop the pot.

The river card is the 7, and Steve Brecher wins the pot with an ace-high straight.

Pot Size - 4,161,000
