The flop laid Qd6c4d and an early position player checked. A middle position player made it 400 and Jim Seaver called behind him. WPTDeepStacks Player of the Year contender Brian Reinert was in late position and he called as well. The early position player made it four ways and it was off to the turn.

Fourth street fell the Ah. The early position player checked. The middle position player continued for 600 while Seaver made it 1,500 to go. Reinert called and the remaining players folded. Seaver and Reinert were heads up.

The river completed the board with the 8s. Seaver bet 5,500. Reinert thought for 30 seconds or so before he called. Seaver promptly flipped over 7d5d for a rivered straight. Reinert reluctantly folded and surrendered the pot.
