Scott Seiver Wins a Big Early Pot

After a {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Hearts} flop, Seiver bet 325 after both blinds checked. The small blind check-raised to 1,000 and Seiver called.The turn brought the {10-Spades}, the small blind bet 2,000 and now Seiver raised, to 7,000. The small blind called.

The {5-Hearts} fell on the river and after the small blind checked Seiver moved all in. "I have to call," the small blind said, and found that his {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} had been run down by the straight Seiver made with {J-?} {9-?}. The other player was eliminated and Seiver rocketed up to 38,000.
