Best Hand Prevails for Livengood

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After a couple of raises, Darren Martin and Brandon Livengood got all of their chips in the middle preflop. The cards were tabled and Livengood held a dominating preflop advantage.

Brandon Livengood: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Darren Martin: {a-}{j-}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Martin took over the lead with a pair of jacks. The {9-Spades} on the turn changed nothing but the {q-Diamonds} on the river gave Livengood a straight. When the stacks were counted, Martin was the player at risk for 955,000, covered by just 10,000 chips.
