Three Bullets from Seiver

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jake Balsiger opened to 10,000 in early position, Scott Seiver three-bet to 27,000 in the cutoff, and the action folded back to Balsiger, who called.

The flop fell {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, Balsiger checked, and Seiver fired out a small continuation bet of 18,000. Balsiger pondered the decision for a bit, then called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, Balsiger knuckled again, and Seiver quickly reached for chips. He fired out 37,000, Balsiger tank-called, and the a third consecutive club - the {10-Clubs} - completed the board.

The 2012 Octo-Niner checked a third and final time, and Seiver emptier the chamber, firing out 74,000. Balsiger opted not to call this bet, however, and folded.

No Help for Team Online's Randy Lew

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Randy Lew
Randy Lew

"All in and a call Table 32," the dealer announced. We made our way over to discover PokerStars Team Online's Randy Lew at risk against Luisa Helps.

Lew: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Helps: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The look on Lew's face seemed to be one of resignation. Indeed, it was a bad spot Lew, who would need either a nine or some miracle cards to stay alive. The {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop was as dry as could be, and that meant Lew needed one of the two nines. The {J-Diamonds} turn wasn't what he was looking for, and neither was the {Q-Hearts}.

Lew gave the table a nod, gathered his things, and then made his way toward the exit.

Hall's Elimination Brings Us One Step Closer to the Money

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Laurence Hall was just eliminated short of the money.

He got his chips in good with the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} against the {k-Spades}{j-Spades} of Raymond Wu, but getting it in good isn't always enough. In this case the flop came down {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} to pair Wu and leave Hall in dire straits. Hall could see the AUD$15,000 minimum payday slipping through his fingers when the {A-Hearts} turned, and it was officially out of his grasp when the {10-Hearts} blanked on the river.
