Level 7 is in the books, and the field has gone on another short break.

More For Drinan

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Connor Drinan raised from the hijack and Scott Seiver called from the big blind.

The flop came down {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Seiver checked to Drinan who continued for 25,000. Seiver called, the {2-Hearts} fell on the turn and Seiver checked. Drinan bet 50,000 and again Seiver called, landing the {A-Clubs} river. Seiver checked for a third time and Drinan bet one more time, this one being 100,000.

Seiver called after a few moments, but mucked when Drinan tabled {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a set of deuces.

Kaverman Slides After Losing Two in a Row

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Byron Kaverman
Byron Kaverman

From the cutoff seat, Byron Kaverman raised to 18,000. Phil Ivey reraised from the button to 57,000, and play folded back to Kaverman. He called, and the two took a flop of {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Kaverman checked, Ivey bet 50,000, and Kaverman folded.

On the next hand, Talal Shakerchi opened from under the gun to 18,000, Scott Seiver called from the next seat, and then Kaverman reraised to 58,000 from the hijack seat. Play folded all the way back around to Seiver, and he called.

The flop was {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Seiver checked, and Kaverman checked.

The turn was the {J-Spades}, and both players checked again.

The river was the {6-Clubs}, and Seiver led with a bet of 110,000, which was just under half of what Kaverman had left. Kaverman thought it over and then folded, and Seiver won the pot.

Phil Ivey raised under the gun to 19,000 and Byron Kaverman called from the big blind. The flop brought out {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Kaverman check-called 25,000.

On the turn the {Q-Clubs} hit and Kaverman check-called another 52,000. The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and Kaverman checked again.

Ivey quickly fired out 125,000, and Kaverman tanked for 30 seconds before throwing in the call.
