From the button, Andrew Robl made it 4,200 to play, and Scott Seiver reraised to 16,200 from the small blind. There was some confusion from the dealer in cutting out the bets, but Robl already knew how much he had to call, and he splashed the chips into the pot.
Heads up, the flop came , and Robl check-called a bet of 28,000 from Seiver. The turn drew another bet from Seiver, 52,000 this time. Robl called again, and the filled out the board on fifth street. Seiver paused before announcing an all in, and Robl instantly called all in for his last 146,200.
Seiver:
Robl:
Two pair turns to a full house to give Robl the double up. He's knocked Seiver down to just 72,000, vaulting his own stack up to 488,200 in the process.
From the button, Daniel "jungleman12" Cates raised to 4,500, and Humberto Brenes three-bet to 17,000 in the small blind. Cates asked the dealer to count Brenes' remaining stack (~210,000) before he called to see a flop.
Both men checked the flop, and Brenes finally bet 34,000 on the turn. Cates called, and the river went check-check once again. Cates showed up , and Brenes could not beat it. He mucked, dropping down to about 170,000 while Cates moves back up over 300,000.
On a flop, we picked up three-handed action as Ashton Griffin bet 13,000 into a pot of just more than that. Nick Schulman folded, but Sorel Mizzi wanted to see another card.
He called, and the was the turn card. Griffin bet again, 32,000 this time. Mizzi gave it a look but he could not call, and his folding earns Griffin the pot and a chip boost back up to 195,000.
Scott Seiver raised to 4,500 from middle position, and the table folded around to the big blind. There, Phil Laak leaned over the table to have a look at Seiver's dwindling stack. "I'm going to charge you an additional 7,200 after I call," he declared, sticking in a three-bet to 11,700. "When I say I'm going to charge you, that's only if you call. If you fold, there's no charge."
Seiver did not fold, instead matching the bet to see a flop with about 45,000 chips left. It came , and the action went check-check to the turn. Laak took the lead now with a small bet of 9,000, and Seiver tanked and called. That led them to the river, and Laak was peeking once again. "Could you move your right arm for me?" he asked, spying Seiver's ~35,000 remaining chips. Satisfied by what he saw, Laak grabbed 200,000 in green chips and slung them forward. Seiver was taken aback.
"If I end up calling, I don't want you to think it's a slowroll," he said, leaning back in his chair. Seiver would spend the next four or five minutes tossing the decision around in his head. "How are two queens right here?" he asked at one point. After another minute, he seemed to be convinced he was beaten. "It's all making sense. All of it. I wish you had bet the flop, I'd be so much happier."
Finally, Seiver did make the call, but we'd never see the two queens he claimed to have. Laak tabled , and his overpair is good enough to collect the knockout. Seiver is out as the third casualty of the day, while Laak has worked his way close to 390,000 courtesy of those cowboys.
