Stud Hi-Lo

Alex Livingston tangled with Ryan Hughes in a pot that would eventually become Livingston's last in the tournament. Livingston completed with the {A-Spades} and Hughes raised it up with the {8-Hearts} lying in front of him. Livingston called and then led out on fourth street. Hughes called and third heart hit his board on fifth. Hughes bet and then called Livingston's all in worth 71,000 total. Livingston saw devastating showdown.

Alex Livingston: {10-Spades}{3-Spades} / {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Ryan Hughes: {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / {8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}

Livingston was drawing for a flush while Hughes already had one, ace-jack high. That reduced Livingston's outs to just the figure spades. Livingston could still hope for a runner-runner low or a boat, and the {2-Diamonds} on sixth street indeed improved his chances for a full house.

Livingston eventually made his flush, but the {7-Spades} on the river wasn't high enough to top Hughes' made hand.

Following Livingston's exit, Mike Matosow moved to Table 700 in order to keep the tables balanced.
