Seiver Having Hard Time in Hold'em

Hold'em
Scott Seiver just lost a couple of hold'em pots that are sure to put a damper on his afternoon.

In the first hand Seiver raised from the cutoff and was called by Jared Jaffee in the small blind and Todd Brunson in the big blind. The flop came {3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and action was checked to Seiver who bet. Jaffee called, but Brunson got out of the way.

The Turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Jaffee check-called a bet from Seiver. When the {j-Diamonds} came on the river Jaffee led out with a bet and Seiver called.

Jaffee tabled {j-Spades}{10-Hearts} for trips, while Seiver tabled {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, also having trips. Seiver was outkicked, though, and lost the pot to Jaffee.

In the next hand there were four bets preflop between Seiver and Stephen Su to get us a flop of {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Su bet the flop and Seiver called, with both of them checking the {k-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Clubs} on the river.

Su showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for a set and Seiver mucked.

Broadway Wins for Kravchenko

Omaha-8

Alexander Kravchenko raised from under the gun and called Steve Sung's reraise. Sung was acting from early position as well. The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Kravchenko check-called a bet from Sung.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and both players checked. The river was the {7-Spades} and Kravchenko bet. Sung called.

Kravchenko tabled the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a broadway straight. Sung flashed the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for two pair and then mucked his hand. Kravchenko moved up to 215,000 in chips.

Sung Gives One up to Yakovenko

Omaha 8/b

Nikolai Yakovenko raised from under the gun and was re-raised by Steve Sung in the button. Yakovenko made the call after both blinds folded.

The flop came {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and both players checked to the {6-Spades} turn. At this time Yakovenko bet and Sung called. Betting would follow the same pattern after the {10-Diamonds} came on the river.

Yakovenko showed {5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a ten-high straight and a low of seven while Sung mucked.

Tough to Beat the Nuts

Razz

Jesse Martin: (X)(X) / {5-}{9-}{9-}{a-} / (X)
Jared Jaffee: {a-}{2-}{6-} / {3-}{2-}{4-}{5-}

We arrived in time to see Jaffee raising a bet from Martin with Martin making the call. Jaffee bet all the way through to sixth street with Martin readily calling. On sixth street Martin took about three minutes to make a decision, asking the dealer to arrange Jaffee's cards in the order in which they fell. Once that was done he thought some more and called.

Jaffee bet and was called again on the river. He showed a wheel for the nuts and Martin mucked.

Stud

Stephen Su: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} / {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Jesse Martin: (X)(X) / {q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Spades} / (X)

We missed the start of this hand but do know that there was a raise and a call on third street. Su bet on fourth street, getting a call from Martin, but it was Martin who bet fifth street after picking up a pair of deuces. Su quickly made the call.

Martin check-called a bet from Su on sixth street, and Su immediately asked Martin how much he had left. Martin, who had less than a full bet left, answered the question by putting all his chips in the middle.

Su snap-called and showed a boat. Martin mucked his hand and left to collect his winnings.

Brunson Up to 300k

Stud

Todd Brunson: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} / {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-}{9-Clubs} / {2-Spades}
Stephen Su: (X)(X) / {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} / (X)

Todd Brunson recently found himself with 300,000 chips after beating Stephen Su in a big stud pot. We caught up with action on fifth street where Brunson called a bet from Su, something he would do again on sixth street. Su checked the river before calling a bet from Brunson.

Brunson showed a full house and Su mucked, losing some of the chips he just won from busting Jesse Martin.
