Mihails Morozovs raised from late position with the button player calling behind. Alex Livingston three-bet from the big blind and both Morozovs and the button player called to see the 3♣10♥8♣ flop.
Livingston checked and Morozovs bet, putting himself all in. The button and Livingston both called to see the 4♦ hit the turn.
Livingston bet again and got a fold from the button to set up a heads up runout with Morozovs at risk.
Mihails Morozovs: A♠9♥4♣2♥
Alex Livingston: A♥9♦5♥2♣
The river came the Q♣, leaving both players with the same low but Morozovs taking the high with a pair of fours.

Carlos Guerrero and Allan Le both committed 285,000 to the pot heading to the river on a board of J♥4♦4♣10♦2♠. Le, in the small blind, then bet 175,000 more.
Guerrero came back with an all-in shove and Le, with around 200,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes before mucking.
"Don't want to show the ace-jack-deuce-three-five?" tablemate Shaun Deeb asked Guerrero as he raked in the massive pot.
Richie Allen and Jeff Vaughn were both sent to the payout desk on recent hands.
Vangelis Kaimakamis raised from early position and got called by Erle Mankin in the big blind leading to a 8♥2♣9♣ flop.
Mankin checked to Kaimakamis who tossed out a bet. Mankin called and they headed to the 6♦ turn card. Both players checked through to the 4♦ river.
Both players checked through once again to get to showdown and Mankin turned over the 7♥6♥3♣2♦, good for two pair and a low, prompting Kaimakamis to toss his cards into the muck.
Gregory Jamison bet from the cutoff on a flop of 8♥8♣6♠ and Joey Couden called. The turn came the J♦ and Couden checked over to Jamison, who continued with another bet.
Couden now raised and Jamison called to see the 9♠ river, where Couden bet again.
Jamison slammed the chips he was holding down on top of his stack and began tanking for several minutes before sliding in a call. Couden turned over A♣Q♣10♠3♠ for the rivered straight and Jamison paused for a moment as he took a picture of the board before mucking.
Twenty years after his defining victory in the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event that ignited the Poker Boom, Chris Moneymaker came to Las Vegas looking to further his already cemented status as one of the most important figures in poker history.
Only 27 years old at the time, Moneymaker spun a $40 satellite victory into $2.5 million in perhaps the most memorable and consequential WSOP victory of all time. Now a household name in poker, Moneymaker has now put up a $50,000 buy-in — the biggest of his two-decade poker career — to play the prestigious WSOP Poker Players Championship for the first time at the 2023 WSOP.
PokerNews spoke with Moneymaker during Day 1 on June 18 as he battled against the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh and two-time defending champion Dan "Jungleman" Cates, all of whom were seated at the 2003 Main Event champion's table.
