Scott Seiver

The last hour or so has not been kind to Scott Seiver, but just now he managed to double up against Dutchman Justin Tazelaar. The board read {2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{K-Spades} when Seiver was all in for his final 2,200 chips and he was called by Tazelaar.

Seiver showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and the turn had been kind to him against Tazelaar's {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The river was the {6-Spades} and Seiver doubled up.

"What's the Recipe?"

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

From early position, David Chiu raised. Ronnie Bardah called out of the big blind, and the flop came down {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Bardah check-called a bet from Chiu on the flop, and then the {7-Clubs} was added to the board on the turn. Bardah check-called another bet, and then the dealer completed the board with the {8-Hearts} on the river. Bardah checked, Chiu bet, and Bardah called.

Chiu showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. Bardah nodded his head, flashed an ace, and mucked.

"How do you make so many hands?" yelled out Antonio Esfandiari from across the table as Chiu was pulling in the pot. "What's the secret? What's the recipe?"

Chiu smiled, and Esfandiari continued. "I used to have the secret, but then I lost it. Teach me! Teach me, David!"

"I can't teach you now," responded Chiu. "One Drop — for One Drop I'll teach you."

"OK! For One Drop it is!" finished Esfandiari with a smile.
