Livingston Crosses Six Figures; Bleznick Pots Blind

Level 6

No-Limit Hold'em

Jeff Madsen raised to 2,300 in the hijack. Alex Livingston called in the cutoff before Kyle Montgomery defended his big blind. Madsen continued for 2,800 on the K36 flop. Livingston called, but Montgomery check-folded.

Madsen and Livingston then both checked the 4 turn. Madsen checked again on the 3 river, seeing his opponent toss in a bet of 5,500.

After about a minute of thought, Madsen flicked in calling chips. Livingston revealed QQ for queens and threes, winning him the pot.

Meanwhile, at another table, Jared Bleznick raised to 3,500 under the gun in a game of pot-limit Omaha before the cards were dealt. It folded to Josh Arieh in the big blind, who called.

Bleznick bet 2,000 on the AA7 flop, and Arieh quickly check-folded. Bleznick tabled JJ while he raked in the chips.
