Messick Takes One Down With Tens
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Messick raised to 60,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Alex Livingston in the small blind, who called. Daniel Kirsch then defended his big blind, taking action three ways to the flop 
. Livingston and Kirsch checked and Messick put in a continuation-bet of 80,000. Livingston folded and Kirsch called.
The turn was 
and both players checked. The river came 
and action checked through again to showdown.
Kirsch tabled 
for aces and fives and Messick proceeded to table 
to take down the pot with his aces and tens.
