Allen Kessler limped the cutoff before Alex Livingston potted to 12,000 in the small blind. Joao Vieira called in the big blind before Kessler limp-repotted to 48,000. Livingston called and Vieira folded.
On the 8♥5♠2♣ flop, Livingston led all-in for 13,500 and Kessler called with, somehow, the exact same stack.
Allen Kessler: K♠K♦9♠8♠ 
Alex Livingston: A♣J♠10♠5♣
"What are you doing?" Kessler reprimanded Livingston after seeing the ace-jack-ten-five double suited.
Livingston replied, "Raising a good PLO hand."
The 2♥ turn counterfeited many of Livingston's two pair outs before the A♠ fell on the river to give Livingston the winner as Kessler exited the tournament area dumbfounded.
