Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

A single raised pot between Scott Seiver and Jesse Hampton saw both players take three on the first draw and two on the second.

Seiver continued and Hampton called and Seiver fired again after the second draw. Hampton raised and stood pat when Seiver called. Seiver peeled one and folded to Hampton's bet.

Seiver tangled with his left-hand opponent Johannes Becker shortly after. Seiver took three and Becker two and they checked before discarding the same amount of cards as in the previous round. Becker bet-called and Seiver patted the river while Becker took one.

Seiver showed after the action went check-check, calling his move "a very tight check". He raked in some of the chips he'd lost to Hampton.
