Despite having not been in his seat for several orbits, Alex Livingston is still currently sitting on an average stack of just under 40,000 in Event #55: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. He also currently sits on a top 10 stack with only 35 players remaining in Event $54: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Time will tell if he will be able to parlay this strategy into a deep run in both events.
