Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Matt Livingston
Matt Livingston

Thomas Heine opened to 1,500 from the hijack and was three-bet by Matt Livingston to 5,600 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Heine and he called.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Livingston continued for 5,000. Heine thought for a bit and cut out a raise to 13,000. After a few moments, Livingston announced he was all in, cutting out his stack of 36,600.

Heine went into the tank for a bit before letting his cards go. Upon winning the hand, Livingston tabled the bluff, showing {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} as the dealer sent him the pot.

A few hands prior, Kevin Kurtz was knocked out of the tournament by Mitch Lekarczyk. Livingston provided the details, saying that the two went to a flop of {q-}{8-}{3-} with two spades. Lekarczyk then check-raised the turn {6-Spades} and Kurtz called. The river {10-Spades} brought a fourth spade on board and Lekarczyk put Kurtz all in. Kurtz called.

Mitch Lekarczyk: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Kevin Kurtz: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Kurtz filled up to a flush on the river but Lekarczyk had already made a higher flush by the turn, resulting in Kurtz hitting the rail midway through Level 7.
