It was raised to 525 and two players called before the action got to Scott Seiver who applied pressure by making a reraise to 3,000. The original raiser folded quickly and was followed in short order by the others to give Seiver the pot.
Seiver, who won the 2013 PCA Super High Roller event, was up to 49,000 after the hand.

Ioannis Kontonatsios bet 4,500 from the small blind on a 
flop and was called by an opponent on the button. Both players checked the 
, and Kontonatsios bet 5,500 on the 
river. His opponent took little time before pushing all in for about 14,000, causing Kontonatsios to clench his fist and stick out his tongue before leaning back in his seat to contemplate. After a couple of minutes of deliberation, he tossed out a chip to call.
The player on the button turned over 
for a pair and a missed gutter, and it was no good against Kontonatsios'

Players are on break for 15 minutes.
In a hand that stretched into the break, Vanessa Selbst had made it 1,500 to go preflop from middle position, and she saw Christopher Kruk reraise to 3,800 in the blinds. Selbst made the call, and she called Kruk's continuation-bet of 2,600 on the 
flop. Kruk fired again on the 
turn for 4,100 and was again called. He wasted no time shoving his last 7,550 in on the 
river, and Selbst immediately called.
Kruk showed down 
for ace-high, no good against the 
of the American star.

Etcheverry:

Etcheverry rapped the table in triumph as the dealer placed the on the river.
"I think he just played one hand," Vanessa Selbst commented after the player made his exit. "I don't even think he folded a hand, I think he just came in and played one hand."
