Scott Seiver's stack is continuing to grow. He just rivered a full house with {4-Diamonds}

on a

and got paid off by an opponent with {A-?}

Daniel Negreanu opened to 600 from early position and was met with one caller before Warwick Mirzikinian made it 1,400 to go from the button.

Both Negreanu and the other player called, and then check-folded for 1,500 after the {4-Diamonds}

flop bet by Mirzikinian. He took the pot and moved to 38,000, flashing his {A-Diamonds}

.

With this Australian player looking to take his shot at poker immortality, in just over thirty minutes time he'll have a chance to hear the fantastic Advance Australia Fair when Jeff Lisandro is presented with his second bracelet of the 2009 WSOP at the daily bracelet ceremony.
