Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

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.
