15 years after Lysander, Seiver wins 3 bracelets

When we gave you an account of the second bracelet won by Scott Seiver in this edition of the World Series Of Pokerwe had difficulty finding suitable adjectives for an undertaking that certainly not everyone succeeds at.

Now try to think how difficult it can be to do so, in the aftermath of the conquest of third necklace in the space of a month.

We try, telling you about yet another feat of a sensational player who is experiencing the most magical period of his career.

Event #72: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship (7-Handed)

In the second report of yesterday, we had highlighted that atEvent #72: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship (7-Handed)there were 9 players left, all obviously in the money and all with the hope of putting the NL 2-7 Lowball Draw World Championship bracelet on their wrist and a decent first prize equal to $411,041.

Among the 9 players left who would have tried to complete the feat tonight, there were a whole series of super tough guys, certainly not new to a stage of this type, starting with the two chip leaders, the Americane David Lin and the Canadian Mike Watson, both well above 2 million in chips.

The others were no different, Jeremy Ausmus, Robert Mizrachi, Jason Mercier e Jennifer Harman.

But they all knew they had to deal with Scott Seiver, the most in-form player of this edition of the WSOP.

Third WSOP Bracelet in a Month: Scott Seiver Makes History

It hasn’t happened since 2009 that a single player brought home three successes during the summer session of the World Series Of Poker, that is, since the Italian-American Jeff Lisandro He took the world by storm, not just the poker world, and carved an unforgettable feat in stone.

Fifteen years later, this feat was repeated by another American, Scott Seiver, who no more than 15 days ago, we chose as our Player Of The Week.

In total there are now seven bracelets won by the champion born in Columbus, Ohio, on 14 April 1985, a lover of numbers, technology and a graduate in computer science from Brown University.

Seiver claimed his third win, having bested all 185 of his Championship opponents, who had generated prize money of $1.729.800divided at the end of the late registration into 28 increasing odds, starting from the $20,552 of the smallest, up to a first place equivalent to the over 410,000 dollars pocketed by the American.

Heads Up contro Krela

With this victory, Seiver is now ready to enter with merit into the Poker Hall Of Famean event for which he will be eligible upon reaching his 40th birthday and becomes the super favourite for the race for the WSOP Player Of The Year.

In the final head-to-head, Seiver faced off against the Canadian Jonathan Krelawho surrendered under the blows of his opponent, despite starting with the lead 6 million against Seiver’s 5.

The final heads up lasted approx 40 minutes in totalfor a final hand that developed like this:

Seiver opened to 250,000 at T.100,000, receiving a 3Bet from Krela to 800,000, which Seiver called, after which both players drew just one card.

Remember that in this game you have to be able to do a combination as low as possibleexcluding the Ace which is considered the highest card, so the nuts is 7-5-4-3-2.

The two had these points respectively, after Krela’s shove for 4.35 million:

• Krela: 10x 8x 6x 4x 2x
• Seiver: 9x 7x 6x 5x 2x

Krela’s bet put his opponent in difficulty, who thought about it for a while before declaring “I don’t think I can fold this hand” and, once the call was announced, the Canadian he said “10-8”, before Seiver quickly turned his best combination, which thus closed the score in favor of the American.

Seiver’s words

“I feel very satisfied at the moment“, Seiver told PokerNews after the victory. “I can’t really describe it. I’m like al seventh heaven now. This means a lot to me, and it’s also a step forward from the dream I’ve always had, which is to win a bracelet in every single discipline I exists in poker“.
