Seiver Almost Doubles Through Martini

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Action was picked up on the river with a pot containing 45,000, between Scott Seiver in the big blind and Julien Martini in early position.

The board read {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} with action on Seiver, who thought for a bit before putting out a bet of 66,000, leaving himself only 4,000 behind.

Martini wasted no time in throwing in the call and Seiver verbally declared "jack," as he flipped over {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for three jacks. Martini conceded the pot as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Dula Shoves River

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Cary Katz raised in first to 6,000 and was called by Dalibor Dula from the hijack and the player in the big blind.

The flop came out {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, which saw action check to Katz who bet 12,000. Both Dula and the big blind called.

On the {7-Diamonds} turn, action checked to Dula who bet 21,000. The big blind called and Katz got out of the way.

The big blind checked on the {3-Spades} river before Dula who moved all-in as the big stack. After some consideration, the big blind mucked and Dula pushed his stack to over 200,000 chips.

Action was picked up between four players, including Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier in the small blind and Adrian Mateos in early position, with 20,000 in the middle.

The board of {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs} was checked through to the {a-Hearts} turn. Action checked to Mateos who bet 6,000, receiving only Grospellier called.

The river peeled off with the {9-Hearts} which prompted Grospellier to check. Mateos moved all-in as the covering stack and Grospellier snap-called with his remaining 31,000 chips.

Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Adrian Mateos: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Grospellier had found himself on the wrong end of a flush over flush cooler, with Mateos' ace-high flush scooping the pot and eliminating Grospellier from the tournament.
