Seiver Back Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Opponent 1 - (x) (x) / {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} / (x) (x)
Opponent 2 - (x) (x) / {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts} (Folds)
Opponent 3 - (x) (x) / {q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} / (x) (x)

We caught the action on fourth street, where Seiver bet when checked too, and was called by all three opponents. On fifth street the same action ensued, but in sixth street Seiver only received two calls. All three players checked on the river, and Seiver rolled over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} for two pair; eights and threes. His opponents mucked, and he's now up to 8,200 chips.

We caught up with the hand on fifth street, where Opponent 1 bet and was called by Elezra and the other player. On Sixth the player bet again, but this time only Elezra called. On seventh street both players checked, and Elezra's opponent opened up {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for two pair; queens and tens. Elezra opened up {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a better two pair - aces and deuces - and is now up to 7,000 chips.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We arrived at the table and found Daniel Negreanu all in against Eric Buchman.

Neagreanu: ({J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}){10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Buchman: ({6-Hearts}{3-Spades}){6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Buchman's final three cards came {7-Diamonds}, {J-Spades},{4-Clubs} to leave with him just sixes and threes. Negreanu, unfortunately, could not hit a better two pair as his last three cards were {A-Hearts}, {8-Hearts}, {4-Spades}.

Buchman's is back the near the starting stack with 4,200.
