Livingston Takes Lead and Increases It
Francisco Benitez raised his button to 900,000 and received a call from Alex Livingston in the big blind. The flop fell 6?Q?Q? and saw Livingston check-call a bet of 600,000.
The J? river was then checked through before Livingston fired 2,400,000 on the 10? turn. Benitez tanked for a while before sighing and calling. Livingston showed J?J?3?2? for jacks full of queens and raked in the pot.
The next hand, Livingston raised to 600,000 on the button and Benitez called in the big blind. Both players checked the 10?5?3? flop before Benitez led out for 1,500,000 on the 9? river.
Livingston called to see the 7? river, where Benitez threw in 1,100,000 chips. Livingston then raised to 5,500,000. Benitez complained about his opponent always having the nuts before eventually folding and surrendering another pot.
