Seiver Can Raise "The F***ing Grinder"

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Seven Card Stud

Scott Seiver had {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} out, battling against Michael Mizrachi, whose board showed {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Mizrachi led out on fifth street with Seiver in the middle of his typical speech play. "You're the f***ing Grinder!" Seiver said before adding, "You know what? I can still raise you."

And so, he did. Mizrachi called, and Seiver asked for another club. He received the {6-Clubs}. "Oh my god, six of clubs," he said.

Mizrachi, however, wasn't scared by Sevier's sixth card, and bet out again, having paired his own six. "Six of clubs and you're still gonna bet. Oh my god," Seiver continued before raising. Mizrachi three-bet, Seiver four-bet, and Mizrachi capped it. Seiver called, and they peeled their river cards.

Mizrachi checked. "You check it after you capped it? Oh my god," Seiver laughed. "This is stupid."

Seiver bet, and Mizrachi paused. "If you'll raise him, you're my hero," Bruno Fitoussi, who's also seated at the table, told Mizrachi.

Mizrachi eventually called, and Seiver didn't hesitate, presenting his goods: "Straight flush," he said, roling over {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Michael Mizrachi: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}
Scott Seiver: {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} / {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Sixth street was checked around, and Negreanu bet on seventh street. Shak folded, and Dehkharghani tanked for a bit before he called.

Negreanu showed {9-}{4-}{4-} for a nine-seven, Dehkharghani mucked, and Negreanu won the pot.

Haxton Pots the Turn

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the turn reading {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Mike Gorodinsky and Isaac Haxton tangled in a big pot. Gorodinsky was in the hijack, and he checked to Haxton, who pulled out two T25,000 chips, making a pot-sized bet.

There was roughly 35,000 in the middle, and Gorodinsky was facing a tough decision. He would have only slightly over a pot-sized stack behind should he call on the turn.

Gorodinsky eventually laid it down, leaving this one to Haxton.

Pot-Limit Omaha

The pot was already over 35,000 with the board reading {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, and action was on Dan Shak. Shak bet 15,000, and Ray Dehkharghani called in position. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and {3-Clubs} on the river.

Shak showed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, and Dehkharghani showed {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} for kings and fives to win the hand.

Daher Gets Three Streets of Value from Shack-Harris

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Under the gun, Brandon Shack Harris opened to 1,200. Next to act was Albert Daher, who three-bet to 3,500, and the action folded back to Shack-Harris, who called.

Daher fired another 2,600 on the {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop, and Shack-Harris called again.

The {3-Diamonds} turn saw Daher pull out a second barrel worth 7,700. Shack-Harris kept calling.

Daher pulled the trigger one more time on the {Q-Hearts} river, setting the showdown price at 22,400. Shack-Harris spent roughly a minute thinking and eventually called.

Daher showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for top two pair, scooping the pot.
