Nice Trips for Livshitz

Sava Krink

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

From the button, Kin Hang Man opened the betting with a raise to 400,000, which Gabi Livshitz in the big blind decided to call.

Taking the lead on the 9♦ turn, Livshitz made a bet of 750,000, prompting a thoughtful call from Man.

With the A♠ river completing the board, Livshitz inquired about Man's remaining stack and then confidently pushed all in. After a considerable period of deliberation, Man carefully counted his chips but ultimately chose to fold.

As a gesture of sportsmanship, Livshitz offered, "Do you want to see one card?" before revealing the 9♥. "It's a nice one, isn't it?" he remarked, to which Man concurred.
