With just 90,000 left, Scott Seiver moved in on the button with K♦Q♠Q♣7♦ and got a call from Brian Yoon in the small blind with A♠9♠3♠2♣, as well as Alex Livingston in the big blind with 9♣7♣5♥3♦.

The flop came Q♥7♠2♠ and Yoon led out with a bet holding the nut flush and nut low draws. Livingston called, and the 4♦ fell on the turn, giving Livingston an added straight and wheel draw.

Yoon bet again and got another call from Livingston.

The 10♣ fell on the river, keeping Seiver's set of queens ahead to survive with the high half of the pot, while Yoon's nut low had that half of the pot locked up.

Yoon continued betting and Livingston called, getting no part of the pot with his inferior low and pair of sevens.
