Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Scott Seiver raised under the gun to 12,000. Julian Martini three-bet to 36,000 where action folded to Seiver who called.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to which action checked through.

The {4-Clubs} was the turn. Martini decided to up the ante he bet 36,000 after Seiver checked. Seiver called.

The river brought the {8-Clubs} to which Seiver checked for a third time and Martini decided to go all in for 112,000 effective. Seiver snapped called as Martini showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} losing to Seivers trips {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} which left Martini with only 10,000 chips remaining to which he busted the next hand.
