On the Hunt(er)

We arrived at the scene to see a flop of {9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. A player in early position bet and was followed by an all-in raise from a player in middle position. Hunter Frey didn't have him covered and called, putting himself all in. The player in early position had them both covered and called as well.

Frey: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Middle Position: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Early Position: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Frey begged the dealer for red cards and got them as the turn came {j-Hearts}, followed by the {9-Hearts} on the river.

After the hand Frey found himself up to 13,500.

Steve Gross Busto

With only 750 chips on his stack, Steve Gross opened the pot with a 500-chip raise under the gun. A player in middle position re-popped it to 1,000 and Gross called.

Showdown
Opponent: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}
Gross: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The board {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Clubs} didn't help and Gross is out of the tournament.

Seiver Multitabling Tournaments and Cash

A few hours ago we had taken a couple of strolls past Scott Seiver's table and each time we passed he was nowhere to be seen. Consequently we had assumed Seiver had busted once we saw him sitting at a $25/50 PLO game.

How wrong we were.

While walking through the cash game area, which is still surrounded by tournament tables, we were nearly knocked over by Seiver, who was rushing back to get into his cash game. When he got there he explained to Jason Mercier that he had returned to his table and "Someone had raised, so I sat down and jammed. The guy asked if I had somewhere to be and I said 'Yeah, the cash game.' Then the guy shook his head and said 'You probably don't even have anything' and folded."

Seiver then explained that "Tournaments are easy. I've picked up 1,000 chips every hour. Now I'm good for another hour."

Easy indeed, Seiver. Easy indeed.
