Seiver's Recovery Continues

Scott Seiver has shown plenty of fight today despite some unfortunate results. He's still in the hunt and just added another 250,000 to his stack. He and Derek Raymond played a limped pot with Seiver on the button and Raymond in the big blind. Both players checked the {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs} flop. On the turn {J-Spades}, Raymond checked again. Seivered bet 55,000 and Raymond called.

On the river {5-Hearts} Raymond checked a third time. Seiver bet 200,00, just more than the size of the pot. Raymond thought, called, and mucked when Seiver showed {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for a pair of aces.

Peter Jetten Eliminated in 13th Place ($29,000)

Peter Jetten - 13th Place
Peter Jetten - 13th Place
Peter Jetten managed to triple up following his hand against Michael Woods, but would be eliminated the next hand. It was folded to him in the small blind and he shoved for about 150,000.

Zachary Fritz called in the big blind with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and led Jetten's {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Jetten is out in 13th place. Fritz is nearing 700,000.

A Little Spot of Controversy

With the elimination of Peter Jetten in 13th place, the tables were unbalanced -- seven players on the front table and five on the back. The dealer at the back table stopped dealing while waiting for a hand at the front table to finish so a player could be brought over. Vanessa Rousso took the opportunity to leave the room, while Mike Woods and Zachary Fritz headed for the coffee set-up.

Scott Seiver and Jonathan Aguiar were not happy that dealing had stopped on the back table. They argued that a difference of two (seven players to five players) was not enough to pause action. TD Rick Landry came onto the floor and agreed with them, instructing the dealer on the back table to resume dealing.

Rousso returned moments later.

Seiver Scores One

Beasley thinks about what could have been.
Beasley thinks about what could have been.
Mike Beasley in the small blind, Derek Raymond in the big blind, and Scott Seiver on the button took a flop three ways.

Flop: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} - Beasley checked, Raymond bet 67,000, and Seiver called. Beasley talked himself into a fold, saying "I'm just not going to get myself into that spot."

Turn: {7-Spades} - Raymond bet 132,000, and after some debate over the actual bet amount (apparently Raymond thought he'd slid out 137,000 but had actually bet one T5,000 chip less), Seiver called.

River: {9-Diamonds} - Raymond checked, and Seiver announced a bet of 400,000. Raymond shook his head, played with his chips and folded.

There was an explosion of angry muttering from Beasley, who says he folded {9-?} {7-?} and went runner-runner for a boat. "You bust me then," Seiver said. Just a reminder that in a tournament, luck comes in many forms.

Yep, That's a Good Flop

Jonathan Aguiar had the button and opened with a raise to 76,000. Big blind Brandon Hall was the only caller to a flop of {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Boh players checked.

Hall led out for 110,000 on the {A-Spades} turn. Aguiar called and then was faced with a bet of another 225,000 on the {5-Hearts} river. He let out a deep sigh and then called. Hall turned over {9-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} for a jack-high straight.

"Was that a good flop?" Scott Seiver asked.
