With the board showing KdJc7s3c on the turn, Richard Seymour checked from the small blind, and Micah Raskin checked from the big blind.

The river card was the Ad, Seymour bet 550,000, Raskin raised to 1,300,000, and Seymour called.

Raskin showed 3x3x for a turned set of threes, but Seymour turned over 7h7d to win the pot with a flopped set of sevens.

Expecting a larger pot with a set against a set, somebody else said, “Where’s the rest of the pot?”

Richard Seymour  –  11,550,000  (92 bb)
Micah Raskin  –  8,500,000  (68 bb)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 1,417, the average chip stack is around 7,075,000 (57 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $65,000 each.

The field will play as many 90-minute levels as it takes to reach the final six players for tomorrow’s 12:00 noon WPT Final Table, which will also be live streamed.
