Livingston Makes A Good Fold

Level 26

Action was picked up on fifth street in a pot where Livingston had check-called a bet on fourth street from Avivi.

Alex Livingston: XxXx/6xAx2xKx/Xx
Tal Avivi: XxXx/5xAx2x8x/Xx

Avivi bet on fifth street and sixth street and Livingston called him both times.

On seventh street, Avivi bet once more and Livingston went into the tank. After some thought he tossed his hand into the muck.

"No," lamented Avivi as he quickly flipped over 4x3x for a wheel while raking in the pot. "Please call."

Limit Hold'em

Travis Kubota raised his button, and Nicolas Milgrom called in the big blind. The 59J flop was checked by both players, prompting Milgrom to fire a bet on the 6 turn. Kubota tossed in a call, and did again when Milgrom placed another bet on the 10 river.

The next hand, Milgrom and Joseph Santagata were in the blinds and heads up on a QAA flop. Milgrom bet, Santagata raised, and Milgrom called.

Milgrom then check-raised Santagata's bet on the 4 turn. Santagata called to the 6 river, where he called Milgrom's final bet as well.

Milgrom had ten-high with 107, and Santagata was awarded the pot with Q9 for two pair.
