Livingston Plays Stop and Go

Livello 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was opened to 900 by longtime pro Alex Livingston from under the gun. The cutoff, button, and big blind all called.

The 2♠2♦8♦ flop landed and action was checked to Livingston who continued for 1,000. Everyone folded except the cutoff. The turn brought J♥ and Livingston now slowed down and checked. The cutoff checked behind.

The river brought a 10♥ and Livingston put his foot back on the gas and bet 2,500. The cutoff thought it over for a minute and eventually folded. Livingston would scoop a nice pot early on.

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player from under the gun limped in and the player next to act bumped it up to 900. It folded around to Dimitrios Michailidis in the big blind who called, and the limper came along as well.

On the flop of 10♠10♦4♦, Michailidis and the under-the-gun player checked to the initial raiser who made it 2,000 to go. Michailidis made the call and the under-the-gun player got out of the way.

The 10♥ hit the turn and both players checked their options to the 6♣ river, where again the action went check-check. Michailidis tabled A♠K♥Q♣6♠ and took the pot with trip tens and ace-king kicker.

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

One of the most heartwarming storylines of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) emerged yesterday as the father-daughter duo of Amanda Botfeld and David Botfeld made the money of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship.

Amanda Botfeld, a poker writer and author of 2020's A Girl's Guide to Poker, announced on Twitter that she and her dad had made it to the money in poker's most prestigious event. The tweet included a photo of the two locked in a loving embrace, no doubt happy to have secured a payday of at least $15,000.
