Seif Closes In On 10k

Aggressive betting by Mark Seif on every street; including a capped fourth, eventually forced a fold from his opponent.

With both players boards reading:

Seif: (X-X) / {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / (X)
Opponent: (X-X) / {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} / (X)

Seif found a seventh-street fold from his opponent as he raked in the pot to send him to 9,700 in chips.

David Singer was crippled to his last 250 in chips when he was unable to best his opponent with both boards reading:

Singer: (X-X) / {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / (X)
Opponent: (X-X) / {2-Spades}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / (X)

His opponent tabled his {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for two-pair and the pot.

A few hands later Singer managed to double up before being eliminated when his two-pair was no good against trips on the following boards:

Singer: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} / {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {6-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{2-Spades} / {2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {A-Diamonds}

McKain made quad Jacks and Alioto didn't even bother seeing what he was dealt on seventh street and stood up and exited the building.
