Seiver Stands Pat With Ace-King and Wins

Level 6 : 300/600, 900 ante

The action has been fast and loose at Table 292, with Huck Seed and Scott Seiver both playing a lot of hands and chipping up with some aggressive plays. Seed recounted to PokerNews a particularly wild hand from one of the first levels of the tournament.

According to Seed, he opened to 900 and received two callers before Scott Seiver three-bet to 5,500. Seed folded before the next player shoved for 17,000. Action then folded back around to Seiver who called with a covering stack and stood pat.

Seiver's opponent drew one, tabled 10x8x3x2x and paired after catching a three. Surprisingly, Seiver had stood pat with AxKxJx10x3x which was good at showdown to eliminate his opponent.

Hellmuth Chasing #18

Level 6 : 300/600, 900 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

All-time bracelet leader Phil Hellmuth sat on the button and called when Steven Friedlander made it 2,000 to go in the cutoff.

Both players drew one card and checked it down. Friedlander flashed a Kx, leaving Hellmuth to take the pot with Jx9x7x3x2x for a jack-low.

Hellmuth has obtained a record 17 bracelets throughout his illustrious career and is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, some wager his next one will be won in no-limit 2-7 single draw.

Hand #1

The action was picked up post-draw. Small blind Abel Lin placed a small bet of 3,000 into a sizable pot of 13,000. Ralph Porter folded from the big blind before last year's winner, David Funkhouser, made it 20,100 to go in the cutoff, leaving about 7,000 back.

Lin thought for a while but eventually slammed in a call.

"Eight-seven-six," Funkhouser announced, but his cards were never seen as Lin showed down 7x6x5x4x2x for the winning hand.

Hand #2

Funkhouser folded his hand in the hijack.

Hand #3

Funkhouser made it 900 to go in middle position, and Bryan Micon called in the big blind. Micon drew two, Funkhouser stood pat, and Funkhouser won when he placed a small bet after the draws.

Hand #4

Funkhouser was first to act and quickly passed his cards to the dealer.

Hand #5

Funkhouser folded his big blind to Marcel Vonk's raise under the gun.

Hand #6

Funkhouser sat in the small blind and folded to a raise from Sebastian Schulz on the button.

Hand #7

Micon opened to 1,600 in the hijack before Funkhouser moved all in for 7,100 on the button. Micon snap-called once it folded back to him and stood pat, leaving Funkhouser to draw one card.

David Funkhouser: 7x5x4x3x All in
Bryan Micon: Jx10x7x5x3x

Funkhouser peeled a 10x to beat the jack of Micon and double up to over 30 big blinds.

"The champion is locked in," Christopher Claassen concluded.

Szwarcberg Extracts Value

Level 5 : 300/500, 800 ante

Tomas Szwarcberg opened to 1,100 from the hijack, Fabian Bump called from the button and Charles Odenz defended from the big blind. Odenz drew two, Szwarcberg drew one and Bump stood pat.

After the draw Odenz checked and Szwarcberg bet 5,400 into the 4,100 pot. Bump thought for about a minute before calling while Odenz got out of the way.

Szwarcberg showed a nine-seven with 9x7x5x4x2x which was enough to win the hand.
