Seiver Gone, Again

Level 6 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, Igor Kurganov raised to 20,000. Ole Schemion flat-called on the button, and then Scott Seiver reraised all in for 151,000 from the small blind. Play moved back to Kurganov, and he folded. Schemion then tank-called with the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, but he was behind the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for Seiver.

The {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} board finished off Seiver for the second time today as Schemion made a flush. Schemion moved to 440,000 in chips, and Seiver was eliminated. We'll let you know if he returns to the field with a third bullet.

"This Tournament's Fun"

Level 6 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Scott Seiver was all in from the cutoff seat for 78,000, and Isaac Haxton called on the button. Everyone else folded, and it was Seiver at risk with the {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} against the {A-Hearts}{9-Spades} for Haxton.

Despite Haxton flopping the lead, Seiver won the pot thanks to a straight on the river after the board ran out {A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

"This tournament's fun," said Jason Mo after the hand.
