Masashi Oya opened to 55,000 under the gun. Ben Tollerene, who had just lost most of his chips in pot of over 1,500,000 to Ognyan Dimov, shoved all in for 200,000 from the cutoff. Oya made the call.
Ben Tollerene: 7♠7♥
Masashi Oya: K♠Q♦
The board ran out 9♥3♦J♦J♣A♦ and Tollerene remained in the tournament.
Scott Seiver won his fifth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and in doing so may have secured his place in the Poker Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible next year.
Seiver, a longtime pro from New York who poker fans may remember from his appearance on the Big Game in the early 2010s, took down Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed) for $426,744 after an intense and grueling final table battle that eventually saw him denying Jonathan Cohen a second bracelet.
Seiver turns 40 next April and thus will be eligible for the Poker Hall of Fame, a club home to other five-plus bracelet winners like Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel and Phil Hellmuth.
Not only is the Hall of Fame already on Seiver's mind, it's the 39-year-old's primary motivator.
Alex Foxen opened to 60,000 from the hijack and was called by Eli Berg from the cutoff before Michael Jozoff made it 260,000 from the button. Scott Eskenazi was next to act and jammed for 575,000. Action was on Foxen and he let his hand go. Berg did the same. Jozoff checked his hand one more time and called.
Scott Eskenazi: A♦Q♣
Michael Jozoff: K♠K♣
No ace arrived on the 10♠8♣7♥6♥7♠ runout and Eske became the first casualty after the break.
Vlastimil Pustina opened under the gun and Kevin Rabichow defended from the big blind.
Rabichow chose to check the 8♦A♥5♥ flop. Pustina fired a continuation-bet of 30,000 only to be met by a check-raise to 140,000 from Rabichow. After some thought, Pustina made the call.
The Q♥ turn saw Rabichow put out a bet of 160,000. This prompted a quick fold from Pustina
