Dylan Smith: XxXx/5x3xAx3x/Xx
Scott Seiver: XxXx/5x3x10xAx/Xx
Jared Bleznick: XxXx/7x4xQx6x - folded on sixth street

Jared Bleznick had bet on fourth street and Dylan Smith raised when controversy erupted at this table. Scott Seiver accused Bleznick of goading Smith into raising in order to force Seiver out of the pot.

"It's straight up cheating," Seiver said as the floor was called over.

"Scott, I didn't mean it like that. We're all talking, joking around," Bleznick replied, defending himself. The floor eventually gave Bleznick a warning not to talk about the hand while it was in progress, and action then proceeded with Seiver and Bleznick calling Smith's raise.

Smith bet again on fifth street and both opponents called. Another bet on sixth forced out Bleznick, while Seiver called and both players checked down seventh.

Seiver announced he had an eight, but Smith showed Kx7x6x for 7-6-5-3-A to win the pot.

Seiver and Bleznick patched things up and even posed for a picture for Nick Schulman together. "I was raising anyway," Smith said.

"I know you were," Seiver replied.
