Seiver Raises River
Level 2
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Scott Seiver raised to 3,000 from the button and found calls from Paul Newey in the small blind and Antonio Esfandiari in the big blind. The flop came down and Newey checked. Esfandiari came out with a bet of 5,100 and Seiver flatted. Newey got out of the way, leaving the two heads up to fourth street.
The hit the turn and Esfandiari fired 12,200. Seiver called once again and the two saw the complete the board. Esfandiari bet 17,100 and the reigning champion waited a moment before dropping out a raise to 53,000. Esfandiari tanked for a bit before opting to release his hand, awarding Seiver the pot.
