Two Pair Good For Erik Seidel

[user92162]

Preflop, Erik Seidel opened the button to 8,000 and Mike Watson three-bet him to 20,000 from the big blind. Seidel called.

The flop came {10-Spades}

and Watts fired out 25,000. Seidel flat called.

They both checked the turn {5-Hearts}

Florian Langmann Eliminated In 4th Place ($25,000 AUD)

Matthew

Florian Langmann opened in the cutoff to 7,500. Erik Seidel called, and so did Guttman. The flop was {k-Spades}

and Guttman checked to Langmann who bet 16,000. Seidel made it 66,000, Guttman got out of the way, and Langmann moved all in. Seidel quickly called and the hands were revealed.

Langmann: {q-Spades}

Seidel:

Langmann said "I was afraid you had that hand," before the dealer spread out the {4-Spades}

turn, and the {5-Clubs}

river the eliminating Langmann from the tournament, and giving Seidel about 340,000.

Tight Play Early On

Matthew

The play is extremely tight at the final table right now. On one hand, in a raised preflop pot, the players checked down a {2-Spades}

board.

The hands? Seidel, Langmann and Guttman all had big pocket pairs. Obviously big pairs are not huge in Omaha, but the players were surprised the money didn't go in preflop.
