Seidel Finds a Double

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

After Igor Kurganov raised to 60,000 on the button, Erik Seidel reraised all in for 130,000. Kurganov made the call, but his {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} was dominated by the {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} for Seidel.

The flop really gave Seidel a hammerlock on the hand when the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades} fell. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and that left Kurganov drawing dead as the river completed the board with the {10-Clubs}.

Kurganov sent over the chips, and Seidel doubled to over 300,000.

Erik Seidel raised to 60,000 and Sam Trickett folded his cards. Fabian Quoss took about 20 seconds before he decided to move all in. Seidel went into the tank for quite some time before making the call.

Seidel: {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Quoss: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Seidel lost all of his 310,000 remaining chips. There are now just five players remaining.

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

From under the gun, Fabian Quoss raised to 60,000. On the button, Winfred Yu made the call, and the dealer ran out the {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. Quoss checked, Yu bet 75,000, and Quoss called.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, and both players checked to see the {10-Spades} on the river. Quoss bet 135,000, and Yu folded.

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Trickett: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Reinkemeier: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and Trickett survived despite Reinkemeier hitting his set on the flop.

Ace High Takes it

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Sam Trickett raised to 70,000 from the small blind and Fabian Quoss defended his big blind.

The flop brought out {3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Trickett fired out 65,000, Quoss called.

Both the turn, the {K-Clubs}, and the river, the {6-Hearts}, were checked and Quoss took the pot with {A-}{7-}. The five remaining players are still on the money bubble. One more elimination and everyone walks away with at least AU$500,000.
