Livshitz On the Ups
A player opened to 11,000 on the button and Gabi Livshitz defended out of the big blind.
The single suit 
flop saw Livshitz check and then call his opponent's 10,000 continuation.
Livshitz checked for a second time following the 
turn and then, with a slight twist of the head, call once again after the button player fired off 25,000.
The 
river completed the board, prompting Livshitz to check for a third and final time. His opponent, seemingly unfazed at being unable to shed Livshitz on either of the two previous streets, pushed 44,000 into the middle, a figure that represented the vast majority of Livshitz's remaining stack. After some pause, Livshitz responded by moving all in and, despite the favorable pot odds on offer, the button player, with the look of someone who has been truly owned, mucked.
