Blooms Finds a Runner-Runner Double
Level 12
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Erik Seidel raised to 50,000 from the button. Tony Bloom reraised to 170,000 from the small blind. Seidel four-bet to put Bloom all in and Bloom called.
Bloom: 
Seidel: 
The flop came down 
and Seidel stayed in front. The turn brought the sweat-tastic 
to give Bloom an open-ended straight draw and flush draw. The river completed the board with the 
and smacked the straight for Bloom. He was all in for 343,000 and now has around 700,000 in chips. Seidel slipped back to 1.7 million.

Aggressive Play by Trickett
Level 12
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Tony Bloom opened to 50,000 from the button and Sam Trickett three-bet to 135,000 from the small blind.
Bloom made the call, and when the flop landed 
, he was greeted with a check from Trickett.
Bloom used his full time bank before making it 125,000 to go, only to see Trickett check-raise to 250,000.
A seemingly stunned Bloom timed right down before mucking his hand as Trickett collected the pot to move to 1,195,000 in chips.
Big Double for Trickett
Level 12
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Tony Bloom opened with a button raise only to have Sam Trickett three-bet to 125,000 from the small blind.
Bloom responded by raising the pot to 475,000 only to have Trickett commit his entire 507,000-chip stack. Bloom made the call for the additional 32,000 to put his fellow Englishman at risk.
Bloom: 
Trickett: 
With Trickett dominating and needing it to remain that way if he was to stay alive, the 
flop gave his opponent an additional three outs for a chop.
However, when the 
spiked on the turn, Bloom would be drawing dead as the 
fell on the river.
With that pot, Trickett return to the seven-figure club with 1,034,000 as Bloom slips to 650,000 in chips.
Trickett Gets Tricky
Level 12
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Sam Trickett limped in from the small blind for 20,000 before Erik Seidel made it an additional 35,000.
"I raise the pot!" announced Trickett as he made it an additional 110,000 for Seidel.
Seidel quickly folded, and Trickett closed the gap between the two slightly.
Seidel Climbing the Ranks
Level 12
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
With the elimination of David Steicke in fourth place, Erik Seidel has now locked up at least $625,000 in prize money from this event. He's already won over $340,000 this year and it's still the first month of the year. That means Seidel's nearly earned himself a cool million dollars on the year.
By earning at least third-place money, Seidel has now jumped from eleventh on the all-time money list to seventh place, overtaking Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi. The highest he can go on that list today is fourth place and it won't matter if he gets second or first in this event. If Seidel can get first though, he'll be less than $20,000 away from catching Jamie Gold and moving into third overall.
