Scott Seiver - 11th Place

Scott Seiver got very short again before his final hand came up.

Seiver raised from under the gun and called all in after Eli Elezra reraised from the small blind.

Elezra drew one on the first draw, one again on the second and then stood pat on the third draw. Seiver drew two, two and then one.

Elezra made the {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} and Seiver's {8-}{7-}{5-}{2-} turned into a loser when he pulled a {k-} on his final card. Seiver was eliminated in 11th place for over $10,000 in prize money after being one of the chip leaders about an hour prior. Elezra increased his lead on the field and moved to over 600,000 in chips.

Here's a video from yesterday that out very own Lynn Gilmartin did with Seiver. It's a good one and we recommend you check it out.

Wanna know what it's like to run good at the World Series of Poker? So do we. That’s why we are going to take you inside a day in the life of Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier. He’s already cashed four times at this year’s WSOP and took home his second bracelet by winning the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha / Six Handed event earlier this month.

Two months ago he defended his NAPT Championship title at Mohegan Sun by taking down the $10,000 No Limit Hold’em High Roller Bounty Shootout for $246,000 at Mohegan Sun. Last month he shipped the European Poker Tour Champion of Champions event for $74,212. He's also sitting in the number one spot on ESPN's The Nuts this month.

If you'd like to follow along a little more closely with Mercier, our very own Danielle Barille is shadowing him all day long. Check out A Day in the Life of Jason Mercier.
