Seidel Triples Up

Level 12

We arrived at the table to find Erik Seidel just about all in before the flop. He had just 400 left and was in the hand against Alex Bilokur and Matt Glantz. The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Bilokur led with a bet. Glantz called and Seidel called all in for his last 400.

Fourth street was the {5-Spades} and Bilokur led again. Glantz stuck around and the {10-Hearts} finished off the board. Bilokur moved all in for his last 2,400 and Glantz threw away his hand. Bilokur showed {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and won the side pot, but eventually lost the main pot as Seidel showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The eight-time WSOP champion is now sitting on a stack of about 21,000 while Bilokur has merely 9,000 behind.

More For Ivey

Level 12

Jennifer Harman opened with a raise from early position and Phil Ivey three-bet from the button. Jordan Morgan called out of the big blind and Harman called as well.

The trio took in a flop that read {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Morgan checked. Harman checked as well and Ivey fired out a bet. Morgan called and Harman let it go. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Morgan check-called another bet from Ivey. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Morgan checked once more, prompting a final bet from Ivey. Morgan called but mucked his cards after Ivey showed {A-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} for kings and sevens for a high and a seventy-five for his low. Ivey scooped the pot and is now on 64,000.

Matusow Folds; Guth Takes It

Level 12

John Guth opened with a raise from early position and Tom McCormick three-bet. It folded to Mike Matusow who called from the big blind and Guth four-bet the action when it came to him. McCormick called and Matusow called as well.

The flop brought {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades} onto the felt and Matusow checked. Guth was all in for his last 700 and McCormick and Matusow both called.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and Matusow led with a bet. McCormick quickly announced a raise and Matusow went into the tank. Eventually he let it go and the hands were tabled. Guth held {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to McCormick's {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The {Q-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Guth picked up the whole pot, boosting his stack to about 18,000. McCormick, on the other hand, has fallen to around 10,000.

"He saved your life," Matusow remarked to Guth after the hand in reference to McCormick.

Lenaghan and McNeil Chop Nguyen's Chips

Level 11

Calen McNeil opened with an early position raise and Scotty Nguyen called from the next seat over. It folded to Ryan Lenaghan who called from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and McNeil led out. Nguyen called and Lenaghan put out a raise. McNeil called the raise and Nguyen followed suit.

Fourth street was the {7-Hearts} and all three players tapped the table to see the {3-Clubs} hit the river. McNeil and Nguyen checked and Lenaghan fired one final bet. McNeil called and Nguyen thought for a moment before mucking.

"Full house and ace-six," said Lenaghan showing {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}.

"Aces and an ace-four," replied McNeil as he rolled over his hand: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

The two chopped up the pot and effectively split Nguyen's chips. Lenaghan is now sitting on about 74,000 while McNeil is sporting roughly 48,000.
