Getting on the Board is Key
Level 2
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Scott Seiver, who topped a field of 47 entries to win this event in 2013 for $2,003,480, opened for 3,300 from early position and Talal Shakerchi called from the hijack. Defending champ Steve O'Dwyer then called from the big blind and three players saw a flop of 
.
O'Dwyer checked, Seiver bet 6,500, and only Shakerchi called to see the 
turn. Seiver fired out a bet of 18,000, and that did the trick as Shakerchi released his hand.
"I'm just glad I'm not getting shutout," an excited Seiver said about winning his first hand of the day. "Getting on the board is key."
