Livingston, Atchison Chop Up Kupin
Alex Livingston moved all in for 132,000 from the button on a flop of 9♦2♠J♠. Taylor Atchison called in the small blind, sending the action to Aaron Kupin in the hijack.
Kupin went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision. Atchison spent the time asking table neighbor Phil Hellmuth to pose for a selfie with him. "Oh boy. I think I'm getting the exact right price," Kupin said as he eventually called for his last 130,000.
Aaron Kupin: A♦Q♦10♥8♦2♣
Alex Livingston: A♣J♥9♠7♣4♠
Taylor Atchison: A♠K♠6♠5♥4♣
Livingston was ahead with top two pair, while Kupin had a straight draw. The rest of the board ran out A♥4♥ and Livingston improved to aces and jacks, while Atchison made a low to chop the pot and send Kupin to the rail.
