First Pots Heads Up
Still in the previous level, Alex Livingston limped in from the button and Francisco Benitez checked his big blind. Benitez then check-called a 225,000 bet from Livingston on the 6♠J♠K♥ flop and did so too when Livingston sized up to 400,000 on the K♦ turn.
The 10♥ river went check-check and Benitez showed K♠8♥7♥6♦ for kings full and the winning hand.
The next hand, Benitez limped in and Livingston checked his big blind. The 9♥7♦3♦ flop and 6♥ turn were checked through before Livingston check-folded to a bet of 325,000 chips on the 3♥ river.
Livingston then folded his button before Benitez raised his to 450,000 the next hand. Livingston called, after which they both checked the A♥10♥6♥ flop. The Q♥ turn saw Livingston bet 600,000 and Benitez call.
Livingston sized up to 1,500,000 on the 9♠ river and this time he received a snap fold from his opponent.
