Seiver Rollin'; Esfandiari and Greenstein Out

donpeters

The tournament has lost its first two players during this level. Barry Greenstein and Antonio Esfandiari were the first two players to go and Scott Seiver was the beneficiary of both eliminations. Seiver busted both players within a few minutes of one another and earned himself $10,000 total for the two $5,000 bounties.

Esfandiari was crippled when he had top two pair on the turn versus Seiver's middle set of sevens. The river blanked out and Esfandiari was left with only a few chips. He was then eliminated shortly thereafter.

Greenstein went out after his {A-Spades}

lost a race to Seiver's pocjet queens. The board ran out {J-Spades}

. Seiver has over 90,000 chips.
