We missed the hand that left Scott Seiver extremely short, but we do know he got what little he had all in (there was 9,500 in the main pot) against both Brian Rast, who was in the hijack, and Bryn Kenney, who was in the big blind.
Both active players checked the flop and then Kenney check-folded to a bet of 20,000 from Rast on the turn.
Rast:
Seiver:
The river was not the three Seiver needed and he headed for the exit.
Meanwhile, Jason Koon was eliminated at the same time over at Table 4.
Justin Bonomo raised to 11,000 from under the gun and Matt Hyman called from the button. David Peters was in the small blind and pushed all-in for around 80,000. Bonomo moved all-in over the top and Hyman laid his hand down.
Bonomo:
Peters:
The flop looked good for Peters but the on the turn favored Bonomo. The on the river completed the board and Peters was eliminated. With 21 players remaining there now three tables in play.
