Set Fold for Seiver

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

On a board reading {Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} Scott Seiver fired out 3,000 only to have his lone opponent in the hand make it an even 8,000.

Seiver paused, and then made the call, as the {5-Diamonds} was produced on the river with Seiver checking the action only to be faced with a 7,000-chip bet.

Seiver went deep into the tank as the ESPN TV cameras rushed over to film the action.

A few more moments went by, before Seiver eventually folded his hand saying he had a set of nines while slipping to 20,300 in chips.

Wilt Clips Glantz

On a board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} Matt Glantz led out for 1,000 into a pot of around 2,500 as Aaron Wilt made the call.

The river landed the {3-Diamonds}, and after a Wilt check, Glantz fired 1,250.

Wilt made the call tabling his {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} to best Glantz's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

As Glantz slipped to 16,150, Wilt climbed over his starting stack to 33,200 in chips.

Steicke Aggression

Facing a limp from middle position, David Steicke raised the button to 300 only to have his opponent in the small blind three-bet to 1,100.

The limper made the call, as did Steicke, to see a {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop fall.

The small blind checked, and the limper fired out 1,550 only to have Steicke bump it to 3,250.

The small blind passed, as did the preflop aggressor, to see Steicke collect the pot and move to over 32,000 in chips.

Chino Chipping Back Up

Chino Rheem opened to 300 and found two callers to see a {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop fall and Rheem check the action.

With Rheem's apparent weakness, one player fired out 650 and the other made the call, only to have Rheem check-raise to 2,100. The preflop aggressor made the call to take the hand heads up to the turn with the dealer dropping the {4-Clubs}.

Rheem fired out 3,800 and was again smooth-called before the river landed the {2-Hearts}.

Rheem shuffled some chips and paused for a moment before firing out 7,800 to prompt an eventual fold from his opponent to collect the pot and move to 36,000 in chips.

Haxton's Full House Paid

Isaac Haxton was the only player to call a bet of 1,200 on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. He called another 2,200 on the {4-Hearts} turn and 3,200 on the {7-Clubs} river. At showdown, his opponent turned up an ace, {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}, for aces and fours. Haxton rolled over {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a full house to collect the pot.

Kings No Good for Glantz

Matt Glantz made it 550 to go from middle position and was called by Marius Arnesen. The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and both players checked again. The river completed the board with the {8-Spades} and Glantz fired 1,000. Arnesen made the call.

Glantz tabled the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}, but was bested by Arnesen's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. Glantz dropped to 21,700 and Arnesen moved up to 33,000.

Akkari All In Early

After firing a bet and then calling a raise on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Spades}, Andre Akkari checked to his opponent who fired 6,125 on the {q-Diamonds} turn.

Akkari responded by moving all in for 16,500 and his opponent went into the tank before eventually giving it up. Akkari is up to 35,500 chips.

Good Game, Nick Schulman

It was one of those days for Nick Schulman. His stack started dropping off a cliff almost from the words, "Shuffle up and deal." On his final hand, Schulman bet 1,200 on a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, then moved all in for 6,550 when the turn blanked {4-Spades}. Hunter Frey called both bets and attempted to notch the elimination with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}, top pair. Schulman turned up {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} a pair of kings, but was eliminated when the river fell {q-Hearts} to give Frey trip queens.

One for World

John Hennigan called an early-position player's raise of 300 from the button after a player in middle position called. The small blind reraised to 1,800 and the original raiser folded. The player in middle position folded as well, but Hennigan wanted to see a flop and made the call.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and both players checked to see the {9-Diamonds} fall on the turn. The small blind fired 2,025. Hennigan popped the action up to 5,100 and his opponent folded.

Hennigan moved up to 38,500 in chips.

Feldman Raised Off On River

Peter Feldman raised to 300 and a player in middle position raised to 875. Feldman made the call saying, "Well since I already have a big chip in there."

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Feldman check-called a bet of 1,025 from his opponent. After the {9-Diamonds} hit the turn, Feldman and his opponent both checked. The river completed the board with the {A-Spades} and Feldman fired 2,100. His opponent made it 5,500 and Feldman mucked.
