Rocket Start for Seiver

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Scott Seiver was in the small blind, checking on the {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} turn. Christian Pham fired 26,000 from the hijack and Seiver paused.

"Call. See what happens," Seiver said, throwing in the chips.

The river came {k-Hearts} and both players quickly tapped the felt.

Seiver tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Pham mucked his hand.

"Scary river. Very scary," Seiver said.

With his latest addition, Seiver has already been able to increase his stack to around 270,000, having played this event for just 40 minutes.

It fell {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Friedman checked to Lichtenberger who tossed in enough chips to cover Friedman's remaining 35,000. Friedman folded and avoided the risk.
