First Four Hands Uneventful

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

The first four hands since returning from the break have been fairly uneventful.

In the first, Erik Seidel raised to 85,000 from the small blind and Scott Seiver folded from the big. Next, Jason Mo raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and took down the blinds and antes. That was followed by an under-the-gun raise from Ole Schemion, which won the pot.

In the fourth hand, Richard Yong opened for 65,000 from the button and Schemion defended from the big blind. Schemion checked the {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop and then folded to Yong's 60,000 bet.

Seiver and Bonomo All In

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Justin Bonomo and Scott Seiver both had their stacks in the middle, neither found a caller though.

Bonomo three-bet all in for slightly fewer than 500k after Erik Seidel had raised to 65,000. All opponents folded.

The very next hand, Seiver open shipped all in for 363,000 and took down the blinds and antes.

One for Seidel

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Ole Schemion limped from the cutoff and Jason Mo did the same from the small blind. Erik Seidel checked his option from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Mo checked, Seidel bet 50,000, and Schemion made the call. After Mo folded, the dealer burned and turned the {J-Spades}, which both players checked. Action repeated itself on the {Q-Spades} river and Seidel tabled the {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to win the pot. Schemion mucked.

Opening Raising Mo

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Jason Mo opened to 65,000, fours hands in a row, from the cutoff all the way through to under the gun. He won three out of the four, only finding resistance from Scott Seiver who three-bet all in from the small blind after Mo had opened from the cutoff. Mo folded.

Two Pair for Mo

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Richard Yong raised to 65,000 from the hijack and Jason Mo defended from the big blind. Both players checked the {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop as well as the {J-Diamonds} turn, and then Mo led out for 90,000 on the {10-Clubs} river. Yong thought for about 15 seconds before calling with the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, but it was no good as Mo held two pair with the {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Pocket Cowboys for Seiver

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Richard Yong opened for 65,000 under the gun and Erik Seidel called from the small blind. Scott Seiver took his time in the big, even waiting to the last second on his shot clock, and then moved all in for 250,000. Yong got out of the way and Seidel made a quick call.

Seidel: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Seiver: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Seiver had the goods, and he was looking to avoid an ace, spades, or any other such shenanigans. He did just that too as the board ran out a safe {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Two in a Row for Mo

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Jason Mo found two pocket pairs in back-to-back hands and won them both.

From early position, he raised to 65,000 and Ole Schemion defended his big blind. The {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board was checked all the way and Mo took the pot with pocket jacks.

The very next hand, he raised to 65,000 from under the gun with pocket nines. Dani Stern called from the big blind and the board ran {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Stern check-called bets of 80,000 and 165,000 on the turn and river but mucked upon seeing Mo's hand.

Seiver Scores Another Double

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Scott Seiver raised to 65,000 and Jason Mo called from the big blind to see a flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Mo proceeded to check-call a bet of 60,000 and then check-called one of 135,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn.

Mo checked for a third time on the {4-Clubs} river and then called when Seiver moved all in for his last 316,000. Mo held the {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair, but his kicker was no good as Seiver rolled over the {9-Spades}{a-Spades}. Ship the double to Seiver.
