Seiver Sliding

Jonathan Duhamel opened to 28,000 from under the gun and Scott Seiver called from the small blind.

The flop came down {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Seiver check-called 43,000 from Duhamel. The {8-Diamonds} turn was checked again by Seiver and Duhamel bet 88,000. Another call from Seiver led to the {8-Spades} river where Seiver checked for a third time. Duhamel bet 144,000, but Seiver folded pretty quickly and surrendered the pot.

Stein Doubles

Sam Stein
Sam Stein

Right after break, Sam Stein found a double through Team PokerStars Pro Viktor Blom. Action folded to Blom in the small blind and he raised all in to put the pressure on Stein. Stein made the call holding the {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} after a bit of time in the tank. Blom held the {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to give Stein top pair. "I don't want two pair," he said.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river the {4-Hearts}. Stein finished with trip tens and won the hand to double up.

Timex Doubles Through Seiver

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald opened to 22,000 on the button and Scott Seiver popped it to 58,000 from the small blind. McDonald re-raised all in for 327,000 and Seiver called with {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, but was crushed by McDonald's {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. He was not at all happy about running into an overpair.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{K-Spades}, securing the double for McDonald.

The players are now on break, so we'll snag the exact chip counts for you shortly.

King Ike

Another pot to Isaac Haxton, this one at the expense of Sam Stein.

It was Stein who opened to 20,000 from the button, and Haxton flatted in the big blind. On the {4-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} flop, Haxton check-raised from 15,000 to 37,000, and Stein called the raise to see the {6-Clubs} turn. By now, Stein had barely 100,000 chips left in front of him, and Haxton put him to the test with a covering bet.

Stein could not call, and Haxton drags the pot to increase his chip lead. Stein is dangerously low on chips now.

Erik Seidel in his decisive moment

Daniel Negreanu raised to 22,000 on the button and Erik Seidel three-bet out of the small blind for the rest of his stack, 234,000. Once Jonathan Duhamel folded his big blind, Negreanu called immediately with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

Seidel showed {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and hit no part of the {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades} board to exit in 12th place.

Haxton Again

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Under the gun, Doc Sands raised to 21,000, and Isaac Haxton defended his big blind to go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer spread out {10-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, and Haxton check-called another 27,000 from Sands. They both checked through the {A-Hearts} turn, and the {9-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Haxton led out with 75,000 of his own chips, and Sands just surrendered.

"I'll pay you $200 to see it," Galen Hall interjected. He's still not having very much fun over there.

Haxton cocked his head and thought for just a few seconds, then answered, "Nahhhhh," as he returned his cards to the dealer face-down.
