Livingston Pays Riess Off
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante
Ryan Riess raised to 32,000 on the button and was called by Alex Livingston in the big blind.
Livingston drew one and Riess stood pat. Livingston then led out for a 50,000 bet, which was met with a 250,000 raise by Riess.
"I wasn't expecting that," Livingston said as he debated a call.
Livingston did eventually put calling chips in and Riess tabled 8♦7♥6♣4♠3♠. Livingston couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Riess.
