Livingston Downs Opponent
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The cutoff opened to 2,000 and called off his remaining 900 when Alex Livingston three-bet from the big blind.
Cutoff: Jx10x6x4x
Alex Livingston: A♥K♠8♠4♠
The cutoff had double-suited red cards but the A♣J♣9♣ flop removed any flush possibilities for the at-risk player. The A♦ turn gave Livingston the checkmark and the 8♦ completed the board for Livingston to eliminate his opponent.
