Scott Seiver Runs Into Rockets

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver
An early position player raised to 1,200 and the next player to act moved all in for 8,225. Scott Seiver had the next action and he reraised all in over the top for his whole stack. The initial raiser thought for quite some time before finally calling the roughly 15,000 total. The players showed:

Initial Raiser: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Reraiser: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}
Scott Seiver: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

The board helped no one and Seiver lost about 15,000 chips on the hand. He now works with a stack of approximately 20,000.
