Negreanu Takes Nice Pot Against Duhamel

Daniel Negreanu opened to 27,000 in the cutoff and Jonathan Duhamel three-bet to 68,000 from the small blind. Negreanu called and a {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop hit the board.

Duhamel bet 63,000, Negreanu called, and the {6-Spades} hit the turn. Another Negreanu check led to another Duhamel bet, this one for 167,000. Negreanu carefully counted out his stack before calling, landing the {3-Clubs} on the river. Both checked quickly and Negreanu took it down with pocket sevens.

Seiver Binks His Double

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

On a {7-Spades} {5-Spades} {K-Spades} flop, Scott Seiver check-raised all in for his last 210,000. Humberto Brenes was stuck in the middle of the three-way action, and he tanked for a long while before folding. Mike McDonald made the call, though, and Seiver was at risk as the cards were turned up.

"Ace-jack with the ace of spades?" Seiver read his opponent's hand. It was {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, and that meant that Seiver's {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} had him as a favorite to double up. The turn {J-Hearts} gave McDonald a few more outs, but the river {3-Hearts} was a blank and a safe card for the at-risk Seiver.

McDonald has been parted with about a third of his stack, while Seiver doubles his way back into contention with just over a half-million chips.

On the heels of that double, Seiver proceeded to win the next three pots with uncontested preflop raises to chip his way up even further.

Queens GIve Stein a Double

Action folded to Sam Stein on the button and he raised to 25,000. In the big blind, Isaac Haxton reraised all in and Stein snap-called. Stein held the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and was up against the {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for Haxton.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and kept the queens in front of Stein. The turn {3-Spades} changed nothing and either did the {J-Clubs} on the river. Stein's queens held up, allowing some double-up love from the ladies.
