On fifth street Livingston checked and Mangine bet. Livingston called.

Mangine check-called another bet from Livingston on sixth street.

Livello 15

Joey Couden: K♥K♦/4♥2♥8♦4♣/A♣
Alex Livingston: J♥7♥/7♦J♦3♥3♦/3♠

Alex Livingston completed Joey Couden's bring-in and Couden defended with a short stack. On fourth street the duo exchanged bets and raises until Couden was all in for his last 20,000.

Couden's kings needed help against Livingston's two pair of jacks and sevens, and it would come on sixth street with a second pair of fours.

Livingston would need to fill up one of his three pairs on seventh and did so with the 3♠. Couden couldn't improve further and he was eliminated four spots shy of the money.

Maxx Coleman: J♥8♦4♥/4♦8♥9♣10♥
Elior Sion: Q♦XxXx/Q♥10♠A♠4♣

After Maxx Coleman completed, Elior Sion made it two bets to go and was called by Coleman. Sion then bet fourth and fifth streets with Coleman calling.

On sixth street after Sion bet, Coleman spent about a minute thinking before making a raise. Sion called, leaving himself 14,000 behind.

The players checked the river and Coleman showed his two pair of eights and fours, while Sion flashed his other queen which hadn't improved, before sending them to the muck.

Just a couple of hands later, Sion would be all in on third street against Chad Eveslage who made a pair of kings on sixth street, while Sion couldn't improve past ace-high and was eliminated.
