With Eli Elezra putting out a bet from middle position preflop, we saw the button as well as the small blind make the call. The small blind took three cards, Elezra and the button both took two. Both the small blind and Elezra then check-called a bet from the button.

The big blind checked to Seiver who bet out 1,000. The big blind called and both he and Seiver drew one. The big blind again checked to Seiver who bet out, but called again as well. Right after this, the big blind announced, "I have a 98," to which the dealer responded, "We have another round..." He looked a little embarrassed as both players stood pat. The big blind checked, Seiver bet, and the big blind called again.

Jean-Robert Bellande started the action off this hand by putting out a bet under the gun. He received a caller in the big blind Robin Rightmire. Bellande took three cards which brought laughter and taunting from a few of the players at the table. Rightmire only took two.
