Alex Livingston

Despite having not been in his seat for several orbits, Alex Livingston is still currently sitting on an average stack of just under 40,000 in Event #55: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. He also currently sits on a top 10 stack with only 35 players remaining in Event $54: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Time will tell if he will be able to parlay this strategy into a deep run in both events.

Rodawig Scores a Knockout and Takes from Kessler

Level 11

All in player: Q25/4K4K
Eric Rodawig: 658/J579
Allen Kessler: A23/A6K10

Eric Rodawig, who won a bracelet in the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better event in 2011, completed and Allen Kessler raised to two bets. A third player raised again to put himself all in and received calls from both Rodawig and Kessler.

Kessler bet fourth street and was called by Rodawig, who took the initiative on fifth street with a bet that was called by Kessler.

Rodawig fired again on sixth and seventh, receiving a call from Kessler each time.

Rodawig tabled a nine-high straight which was good against Kessler's pair of aces and the all in player's two pair, kings and fours. He scooped a sizable pot as a result, eliminating one player and reducing Kessler's stack in the process.

Zack Gets a Scoop

Level 11

Dan Zack: 932/A796
Opponent: XxXx/A833/Xx

The player with the A completed and just behind him, Dan Zack raised. Action folded back to the initial raiser, who called.

Zack's opponent called a bet on fourth street and then both players checked on fifth. Zach bet on sixth and seventh and was called down.

Zack turned over 932 for a pair of nines with a seven low and his opponent mucked — sending the entire pot Zack's direction.

At another table, Jeff Madsen busted.
