Scott Seiver Eliminated in 22nd Place ($16,218)

Chad Holloway

Level 17

Razz

While Mike Gorodinsky, who was down to 26,000, was doubling through Eddie Blumentahl at one table, Eric Rodawig was busy eliminating Scott Seiver in 22nd place at another.

Seiver got his last 3,000 all in on fifth street in a hand of Razz and appeared to end up with a jack low, but it was no good as Rodawig had a seven-perfect to score the elimination.

Seiver wished the table good luck and headed to the payout desk to collect $16,218.

Schwartz Surging; Pan Getting Short

Mike Patrick

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Jake Schwartz was under 100,000 chips and in danger of being eliminated, but after scooping a three-way Omaha Hi-Lo pot and then the following hand versus the Day 1 chip leader Qinghai Pan, he's more than healthy again.

A raising war ensued preflop with Pan raising in early position, getting three-bet by Schwartz, then responding with a four-bet that Schwartz called in position.

Pan kept up the aggression, betting the flop. Schwartz called.

Pan bet and got called again on the turn.

Finally, on the river, Pan fired again and Schwartz quickly called.

Pan showed for a bluff with missed low and Broadway draws. Schwartz showed for aces up to drag the sizable pot.
