Seiver Slips

An early position player raised to 750, the player directly to his left called and action folded around to Scott Seiver on the button who raised to 2,550. When action got back around to the original raiser he went into the tank for a couple of minutes before upping the bet to 4,425. The middle player got out of the way and Seiver moved all in but was snap-called and after the cards were revealed it was easy to see why.

Seiver: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Seiver had the other player covered but would need some help to avoid taking a major hit to his stack. Unfortunately the board ran out {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and the other player doubled while Seiver was left with 7,500. As soon as the river had been dealt Seiver grabbed his phone and started typing, likely a text or tweet relaying his bad fortune.
