Rast Chips Up; Katz and Livingston Double
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Alex Livingston had most of his short stack in preflop and then got it in after the Q?J?3? flop for 185,000 against Eric Garma.
Alex Livingston: A?7?5?3? 
Eric Garma: A?Q?9?6?
The J? turn didn't help Livingston but he escaped thanks to the 3? river for trips.
On the same table, Aaron Katz was then all in for 325,000 against Erick Lindgren in the following preflop contest.
Aaron Katz: A?Q?9?2?
Erick Lindgren: A?A?6?4?
The 9?7?5?10?J? board improved Katz to the nut flush.
In the meanwhile, one table over, Brian Rast from under the gun and Michael Moncek played out a bigger pot. They invested 800,000 each on the K?Q?4?A? turn before Rast then led the J? river for 2,400,000. Moncek double-checked his cards, folded and shook his head.
