Seiver Getting Verbal, Winning Pots
On a flop that read 
Scott Seiver turned to his new table-mate, Justin Young, and said, "Oh my god, I'm going to have like 50k by the end of this hand."
Seiver, who was on the button, was playing heads-up with a player who was acting under the gun. Seiver called his opponent's bet of 1,050.
The turn came down 
and the both players checked.
When the river delivered and the player under the gun checked with about 7,000 behind him. Seiver asked, "How much do you have?" before turning to Young and saying "Nitting it up." Seiver eventually got around to betting, making it 5,000 and his opponent made a crying call. Seiver showed
