Seiver Goes With His Read But Pays the Price
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With around 25,000 in the pot and a board reading J♠7♠9♣4♦, Patrik Demus bet 12,500 from the big blind and seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Scott Seiver called from early position.
When the 9♥ completed the board on the river, Demus paused for a few beats before moving all in and Seiver, who had approximately 25,000 behind, didn't take long to call.
Demus tabled the 10♦8♥ for a flopped straight, and Seiver mucked his hand. However, since it was an all-in-and-call situation the dealer was obligated to show his hand, which was A♥5♠.
Seiver seemingly had a read that his ace-high might be the best hand, but it wasn't as Demus had the goods and eliminated the future Poker Hall of Famer.
