The 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is in full swing with 13 players having been awarded a WSOP bracelet from the newest location on the Las Vegas Strip at Bally’s - the future Horseshoe - and Paris Las Vegas.
One of those players is Las Vegas resident Scott Seiver, who won his fourth WSOP bracelet in Event #3: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. Seiver topped a 752-player field to win $320,059 in prize money. Seiver’s lifetime tournament earnings now eclipse $24.7 million.

At the Event #3 final table, Seiver was joined by fellow multi-time WSOP bracelet winners Steve Zolotow and Nick Schulman. Another player at the final table was Spaniard Sergio Aido, and it was a hand played between Seiver and Aido that is the Sporting News’ WSOP Hand of the Week.
WSOP Hand of the Week: Aces vs. 43 Offsuit!
With just five players remaining and Seiver holding an overwhelming chip lead, he raises from the small blind holding four-three offsuit. Aido is dealt black aces in the big blind and just calls before the flop brings three low cards including a pair for Seiver.
Seiver continues with a small bet and Aido calls as the ace of hearts peels off on the turn. Now electing to check, Seiver is faced with a small bet from Aido, which he calls.
Gold lands on the river for Seiver as the five completes his straight, and he follows it by sneakily checking behind with the best hand. Aido takes his time before betting just over half the pot. A measured Seiver then announces that he is all-in to put Aido to a decision for his remaining chip stack; approximately six big blinds.

Aido takes seven minutes before correctly folding his top set of aces as Seiver is awarded the pot to extend his chip lead. Aido would inevitably finish in fifth place for $72,233 in prize money, while Seiver would go on to claim his fourth WSOP bracelet and $320,059 in prize money to kickstart his 2022 WSOP with a bang.
