Livingston Bluffs Heine; Kurtz Dusted
Thomas Heine opened to 1,500 from the hijack and was three-bet by Matt Livingston to 5,600 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Heine and he called.
The flop fell 
and Livingston continued for 5,000. Heine thought for a bit and cut out a raise to 13,000. After a few moments, Livingston announced he was all in, cutting out his stack of 36,600.
Heine went into the tank for a bit before letting his cards go. Upon winning the hand, Livingston tabled the bluff, showing 
as the dealer sent him the pot.
A few hands prior, Kevin Kurtz was knocked out of the tournament by Mitch Lekarczyk. Livingston provided the details, saying that the two went to a flop of 
with two spades. Lekarczyk then check-raised the turn 
and Kurtz called. The river 
brought a fourth spade on board and Lekarczyk put Kurtz all in. Kurtz called.
Mitch Lekarczyk: 
Kevin Kurtz: 
Kurtz filled up to a flush on the river but Lekarczyk had already made a higher flush by the turn, resulting in Kurtz hitting the rail midway through Level 7.
