High Roller: Loni Harwood Stands Her Ground

Scott Seiver opened to 7,500 in middle position, and Loni Harwood defended her big blind.

The flop was Ad6h2d. Harwood checked, Seiver made a continuation bet, and Harwood called. The turn was the Js, and Harwood check-called another Seiver bet — 15,000 this time. The river was the 8h. When Harwood checked for a third time, Seiver bet 85,000, which was more than two thirds of his remaining stack. Harwood wasted little time calling to see a showdown.

Seiver tabled 7d9d for a miss, and Harwood showed Ac5d to win the pot with a pair of aces. She’s became the overall chip leader with that exchange, while Seiver was left with the shortest stack in the room.

Loni Harwood – 405,000 (135 bb)
Scott Seiver – 35,500 (12 bb)
