Bluff-Catch Doesn't Work Out For Schreiber

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

With around 25,000 in the pot, Matthew Schreiber and Philip Sternheimer went heads-up after the draw. Sternheimer then bet 25,000 from the hijack.

"I have no sevens or deuces in my hand. That makes me want to call," Schreiber said.

"I feel like you're snowing me, Philip. But every time I pay you off you have it," Schreiber added. "Okay, you deserve it," he added, tossing in the chips.

Sternheimer showed 9x7x6x5x2x and Schreiber mucked. "You have me pipped," Schreiber told him as Sternheimer took in the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Scott Seiver opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 8,000 by Taylor Paur on the button. It was folded back to Seiver, who called.

Seiver drew one and Paur stood pat. Seiver then bet 15,000 and Paur decided to look him up after a bit of thought.

"Nine-seven," Seiver said as he turned over 9x7x5x4x3x as advertised. Paur mucked his hand and Seiver added to his stack.

Dzivielevski and Kassela both stood pat and Dzivielevski showed 9x7x6x4x2x. Kassela went digging through the muck to find out what he would've gotten on a draw before mucking and handing over the double up.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Scott Seiver opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by Taylor Paur in the hijack and Aaron Kupin in the big blind.

Kupin and Seiver drew two while Paur drew one.

It was then checked to Paur, who bet 17,000. Kupin called and Sevier tanked a bit before letting his hand go.

"Nines," Paur announced. Kupin spread out 9x8x7x6x4x and was awarded the pot.

"What happens if I raise... who wins?" Seiver asked.

"You," Kupin replied.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Dario Sammartino raised to 3,500 under the gun and Matthew Schreiber called on the button. Danny Tang then shoved for 32,000 in the big blind, Sammartion put in his last 30,000, and Schreiber folded.

Tang stood pat while Sammartino took one. Tang showed 10x5x4x3x2x and Sammartino had 9x7x5x3x as he prepared to turn over his last card.

"Paint! Queen!" Tang shouted out, sweating the card with Sammartino. It wasn't a paint card but rather a three-sider.

"66 percent," Sammartino said.

"Seven of clubs!" Tang shouted, but Sammartino slammed down a 8x to make a 9-8-7 and earn the double up.

"Make sure you write that he's a luckbox," Tang said after the hand.

Daniel Negreanu had fired his third bullet and was waiting to take his seat, but first he went to open a bottle of wine. "Does anybody have a wine key?" Negreanu yelled out to the rest of the field.

Brian Breck just happened to be carrying one with him, and Negreanu successfully opened the bottle before taking his seat.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Four players went to the draw with around 10,000 in the pot when Patrick Leonard bet 30,000 from the hijack.

Action folded around to Bradley Jansen in the small blind who moved all in for 48,600. Leonard took a minute before calling.

"No. 3," Jansen announced, turning over 7x6x5x3x2x. Leonard flashed an 8-7 before mucking as Jansen doubled up.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Andrew Sellergren was all in for 20,000 from under the gun, Taylor Wilson reshoved for 33,200 in the hijack, and Christopher Vitch in the big blind put both players at risk.

Vitch stood pat while Sellergren and Wilson both took one. Vitch had 9x8x7x4x2x. Sellergren showed 6x5x3x2x but drew another 5x, while Wilson had 6x4x3x2x and caught a 9x on his last card to make a 9-6-4 and scoop the pot, earning a double up off Vitch while sending Sellergren to the rail.

Sellergren had just left his seat and Wilson was still raking in the pot when Corel Theuma showed up to take the vacated seat. "That has to be a world record. That's the pot," a flabbergasted Dan Zack said.

The next hand at this table, Darren Elias raised to 3,500 under the gun and Wilson called in middle position. Vitch then put in his last 30,000 in the small blind, Elias reraised to 75,000 and Wilson folded.

Both players stood pat and Elias showed 9x8x7x6x3x to best Vitch's 10x9x7x5x4x and score the knockout.
