A Flip of the Chip, Then a Chop
Three players limped, and both blinds, including Scott Seiver in the big blind, made the call. When one of the middle position players had limped, he had tossed the black 100 chip in front of him and it improbably balanced on its side.
"What odds to do that again?" asked Seiver, as the table laughed.
The flop came 
. The small blind, who was short-stacked, bet the pot, Seiver raised to 2,000, and it folded to the button who called. The small blind reraised all in for just 50 more, and Seiver and the button both called.
The turn was the 
. Seiver led for 3,500, the button pushed all in, and Seiver quickly called. Seiver showed 
for the straight. His opponent had 
-- also a straight, with a decent shot at a better one.
The river was the 
, and when the all-in player mucked, having been eliminated, they chopped the pot. Seiver has about 15,500 (no add-on chips) as we approach the break.
