Dixon Finds Cooler To Bust

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Monsour Alipourfard opened to 11,000 and received calls from Rich Dixon on the button, Thomas Heine in the small blind, and Jon Cohen in the big blind.

The four went to a flop of {3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Alipourfard saw action checked to him. He fired a continuation-bet that was called by Dixon before both Heine and Cohen folded.

The turn came {k-Spades} and Alipourfard continued. Dixon raised and Alipourfard shoved all in. Dixon called.

Monsour Alipourfard: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Rich Dixon: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Dixon had turned top two pair but found himself up against Alipourfard's flopped set and in need of hitting another king or queen to win the pot. The river came {j-Hearts} and Alipourfard secured the double, leaving Dixon with just 8,500 in chips.

On the following hand, Matt Livingston raised to 9,000 from early position. Dixon called off his last 8,500 from the cutoff and Alipourfard called from the big blind. With 1,000 in the side pot, both players checked to the river on a board of {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}.
Alipourfard checked again and Livingston put out a bet of 5,000, getting a fold from Alipourfard.

Rich Dixon: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Matt Livingston: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Dixon had flopped top pair, top kicker with the hopes of tripling and finding a little bit of life for the time being. Unfortunately for him, those hopes were dashed when Livingston improved to a pair of kings on the river, sending Dixon home in ninth place.

Just three more eliminations remain until the tournament will reach the money.
