Seiver Having a Great Summer, Bleznick Not So Much

David Salituro

Level 12

Scott Seiver: XxXx/5xAx4x2x
Jared Bleznick: XxXx/5x5x6x8x - folded on sixth street

"This sums up our summers. I make a pair, and you hit your gin card. My summer, your summer," Jared Bleznick said to Scott Seiver as they went heads-up to fourth street.

Seiver then bet and Bleznick called. Seiver bet again on fifth and Bleznick stuck around to sixth, where Seiver put out another bet.

"What sums up our summers is, you're about to make a bad fold that benefits me, because I have nothing right now," Seiver said. Bleznick did, indeed, fold, and Seiver flashed an eight as he took the pot.
