Seban Doubles Sayech

donpeters

Michael Seban reraised Tomas Sayech's opening raise of 5,300 to 15,300. Shaun Deeb was in the small blind and tanked for about a miute before folding. Sorel Mizzi was in the big blind and took about a minute to fold as well. Mizzi wasn't thinking about his hand though. He had his Blackberry on the table behind his chips and was scrolling through it, not realizing it was his turn.

When action got back to Sayech, he moved all in for 65,600 total. Seban made the call.

Sayech was poised to double up with {A-Clubs}

against Seban's {10-Hearts}

. The board ran out clean for Sayech -- {Q-Spades}

-- giving him the double up to about 140,000. Seban is down to 76,500.

. Mahonen fired 30,000. Phillips called.

Mahonen showed {10-Spades}

for a failed bluff attempt. Phillips revealed {A-Clubs}

for a pair of threes and scooped the pot. He's now back to the chip lead with 355,000 chips.
