The action was caught on fourth street, where Eddie Blumenthal and Andrew Brown called. Alex Livingston then called all-in and Brown created a side pot by betting the subsequent fifth street. Blumenthal called and did so too for Brown's bet on sixth and seventh street.
At showdown, Brown tabled 8♣6♠4♦ for trip eights, and Blumenthal mucked his cards, forfeiting the side pot to Brown. Livingston then revealed the 5♥2♥ he started with, and slowly peeled a 2♠ to fill up his two pair to a full house, scooping the main pot.
