Seiver Drowns on the River

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer announce. We made our way over just in time to discover Scott Seiver flipping for his tournament life against Amit Makhija.

Seiver: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Makhija: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Seiver had a 56.65% chance of surviving the hand and Makhija would win 42.95% of the time. The {4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop kept Seiver firmly in the lead and increased his chances of winning to 75.25%, while the {3-Clubs} turn pushed it up to 86.36%. All Seiver needed to do was dodge a king and ace on the river to double, but he couldn't do it as the {K-Hearts} spiked.

Seiver shook hands with Makhija and then made a beeline toward the exit.
