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."
