We caught up to the action to see a board of 
. Scott Seiver was heads up in the hand with about 5,000 in the pot. Seiver led out for 4,000 and his opponent tanked for well over two minutes. Eventually, his opponent announced a raise and tossed 11,000 into the middle.
Seiver tanked back for about ninety-second before announcing that he was all in. It was actually Sevier's opponent's tournament life that would have been at risk had there been a call. Seiver's opponent folded, however, and Seiver is now sitting at 49,500 in chips.
