Thao "Scratch" Thiem opened to 12,000 and saw George Shabatura push all in from his left for 35,000. James Livingston on the button shoved his stack forward as well, what looked to be 113,000.
"I guess I'm all in too," Scratch said, opening . Livingston sighed and flipped , and Shabatura responded by flinging his cards into the muck.
The floor was called, and the players said they knew which two cards were Shabatura's. Shabatura said he had two eights, and the tournament director peeked down at the cards in question and turned over , as mucking isn't allowed in an all-in situation.
The board ran out , giving Livingston an unlikely flush to take most of Thiem's stack and bust Shabatura.
Players are on break for 10 minutes.
