Seiver Steaming
![[user67765]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Christine Pietsch and Scott Seiver have been exchanging some words since earlier in the day when there was some confusion as to whether Pietsch had completed or simply called the bring-in when she threw out a single chip.
Seiver wasn't happy and his mood hasn't improved after there was some more confusion at showdown in the following hand.
Catching it on fifth street, Seiver bet out with aces showing and Pietsch made the call, and then called again on sixth. Both players checked it down on the river.
Seiver: (XX) / 
/ (X)
Pietsch: (
) / 
/ (
)
The confusion arose when Pietsch thought she only had a pair of queens, which would've left Seiver's aces in front, but when she flipped he cards she didn't realize that the five on the river improved her to two pair for the winning hand.
"F**king perfect..." grunted Seiver who is now clearly steaming. He's down to 27,000 with Pietsch up to 34,000.
Laird of the Manor
James Laird: 
/ 
Jon Turner: (XXX) / 
We picked up the action on fifth street with Jon Turner check-calling a bet from James Laird; he check-called again on sixth, and, indeed on seventh.
They went to showdown and Laird turned over the tiniest flush with the . It was presumably good enough, as Turner mucked and dipped to 60,000, still good enough for top three in the chip counts at this time. Laird meanwhile is heading into serious big stack territory on 71,000 - only our chip leader Dan Heimiller has more.
Pardey Fights On
The short-stacked Rod Pardey has found a double up to stay alive in this tournament. Pardey was all in on third street with Peter Klaus-Stohner making the call.
Pardey: (
) / 
/ (
)
Klaus-Stohner: (
) / 
/ ()
Pardey made aces up to better the two pair of Klaus-Stohner and double up to 3,000. It's merely a scratch on the surface for Klaus-Stohner who is still well placed with 54,000.
Shapiro Out-Aggresses Everyone
Pat Pezzin has taken a bit of a hit, bumping up David Shapiro's stack in the process.
Shapiro with an ace up bet out on every street. James Kadlec and Mark Dickstein gave it up on fifth and fourth streets respectively; Pezzin lasted until sixth before folding. Just before Shapiro raked in the chunky pot, the cards looked like so:
Shapiro: (XX)/ 
Kadlec: (XX) / 
- fold
Dickstein: (XX) / - fold
Pezzin: (XX) / 
- fold
After that little encounter, Shapiro was up to 44,000 while Pezzin was down to 47,000.
Not Getting Paid
Latest casualties out on the floor:
Jerry Brakel and Zachary Sheline.
Traniello Gets Respect
There had already been a bring in, a call, and a completion by the time perma-short stack Marco Traniello raised with a queen up. The whole table gave him the respect of a fold, and he stays in for the moment on an extremely precarious 6,000.
Straight-Flush Ends Cyndy's Day
Cyndy Violette was all in on third street for her last chips with David Blatte making the call. The rather extraordinary boards looked like this:
Violette: () / 
/ ()
Blatte: (
) / 
/ ()
Violette was probably feeling confident of a double up with a pair in the hole, but remarkably Blatte made a straight-flush by fifth street (and a six-card straight-flush on the river) on a very pretty board.
Violette could only give a wry smile as she departed the Amazon Room.
Rechnitzer Nixed
Joining the hordes of the busted out in the hallway: Mr. George Rechnitzer.
Mizzi Takes a Turn for the Better
Jon Turner: (XX) /
Sorel Mizzi: (XX) /
Jon Turner had bumped his stack up well up over the 60,000 mark by the time Sorel Mizzi knocked him back to an only-just-above-it 61,000. We just caught the action on sixth street, to see Mizzi betting and Turner folding.
Mizzi's stack was increased to 34,000 by this little adventure, and he looked very grateful as he stacked assessed his new chips.
