Trickett Takes One from Bloom

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

After Tony Bloom raised to 58,000 from the button, Sam Trickett reraised to 153,000 from the small blind. Erik Seidel folded from the big blind and Bloom made the call to make heads-up action to the flop. The flop came down {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Trickett bet 125,000. Bloom wanted no more and released his hand.

Ace-High Double for Seidel

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel opened to 55,000 from the button only to have Tony Bloom make it 150,000 total from the small blind.

Once Sam Trickett folded, Seidel immediately moved all in for 333,000 only to be bound to a pot-sized bet of 324,000.

Bloom made the call and tabled his cards, as did Seidel, with both players forgetting that Seidel had 9,000 behind.

Bloom: {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Seidel: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The {8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop saw Seidel's last 9,000 officially enter the pot before the turn and river landed the {7-Clubs} and {5-Clubs} to ensure him the double to 975,000 as Bloom is left with roughly 950,000.

Bloom paused momentarily before making the call as the {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop rolled out.

Seidel baulked, and then moved all in for roughly 280,000 to force Bloom's cards into the muck.

Bloom Takes Lead, Seidel Getting Short

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel bet the flop of {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Tony Bloom raised to 135,000. Seidel's original bet size was unknown, but he did make the call to see the turn. The turn brought the {4-Spades} and both players checked. The river then completed the board with the {4-Clubs}. Seidel check-called a bet of 110,000 from Bloom, who turned over the {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts} after being called. It was good and he won the pot to move to 1.8 million and the chip lead. Seidel was left with 425,000.

Seidel Continues to Slip

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel made it 55,000 from the button only to have Tony Bloom make it a clean 150,000 from the small blind.

Seidel made the call as both players checked the {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop before the {Q-Clubs} rolled off on the turn and Bloom led for 130,000. Seidel made the call, and when the {7-Spades} landed on the river, Bloom's 350,000-chip bet was enough to force a fold from Seidel.

Following that pot, Seidel is now down to 680,000 in chips.

Trickett Powering Away

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

We picked up the action on the flop of {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Sam Trickett fired out 35,000 and Erik Seidel made the call. The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and Trickett bet 78,000. Seidel raised it up to 235,000 only to have Trickett come right back over the top with a reraised to 400,000. Seidel called.

After the {K-Spades} fell on the river, Trickett paused and then moved all in for about 775,000. Seidel mucked his hand and Trickett won the pot. Trickett's up to about 1.7 million now.

Seidel Wins on River

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel limped the small blind and Tony Bloom checked his option.

Seidel checked the {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop as Bloom's 24,000-chip bet was check-called by the multi-WSOP bracelet holder.

The turn of the {9-Spades} saw both players tap the table before the {9-Clubs} landed on the river.

Seidel led for 50,000, and Bloom took advantage of his full time bank before laying his hand down.

No Draw for Trickett

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Sam Trickett opened the button to 55,000 and Tony Bloom made the call from the big blind before both players checked the {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} flop.

The {10-Hearts} landed on the turn and Bloom led for 60,000 only to have Trickett bump it to 225,000. Bloom deliberated slightly before folding.

"You got the draw?" asked Bloom.

"No." stated a blunt Trickett.

Bloom Out In Front

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Making it 57,000 to go from the button, Tony Bloom was confronted with a call from Erik Seidel as a {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop was spread by the dealer.

Seidel check-called a 65,000-chip continuation-bet as the {10-Spades} was checked through on the turn.

The river landed the {10-Clubs} and following a Seidel check, Bloom pushed out a bet of 100,000.

Seidel made the call, but was forced to muck at the sight of Bloom's {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} as the Englishman captures the chip lead by roughly 200,000 from Seidel.

Bloom Ships It

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Tony Bloom opened his button to 58,000 with Erik Seidel making the call from the big blind to see a {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop fall.

Seidel checked and Bloom fired out 66,000 before Seidel slid in five chocolate 25,000-denomination chips. Being an under-raise, Seidel was forced to make it 132,000, only to have Bloom ship his entire stack in.

Seidel shrugged his shoulders and kicked his cards to the muck to relinquish the pot to Bloom.
