Seiver Succumbs

[user66118]

Scott Seiver opened to 400, and Josh Cooper made the flat call. Rock Cloutier then three-bet to 1,700, and Seiver went ahead and moved all in for 2,975. Cooper made the call again, and Cloutier announced an all-in shove. The only problem was that the betting was closed because Seiver's all in was 25 chips too few to re-open the betting. He only had 1,275 on top of the three-bet, and he would have needed 1,300 for Cloutier to make a legal raise, so his only course of action was to call.

The flop came {9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} , and Cloutier finally had his chance to move all in. Cooper quickly called, and we had the chance to see what everyone was working with.

Showdown:
Seiver: {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}
Cooper: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Cloutier: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The turn {3-Hearts} and river {2-Diamonds} filled out the board, and that was no help to the at-risk Seiver. Cloutier's overpair holds up, sending another player to the exit and moving his own stack up to about 9,800.
