Rettenmaier:
Livingston:

Then the flop came, , and a huge roar went up from the crowd as Livingston took the lead with his set of queens. Rettenmaier, however, gained an open-ended straight draw, and he could still catch one of the remaining kings to win as well. The turn was the , and another huge roar came from the crowd as Rettenmaier retook the lead with a higher set. Then the fell on the river, and all the drama was for naught. The players split the pot with a straight on board.
