Haddad Doubles Seidel

After a few walks to circle the button around the table, Erik Seidel found himself pushing all in over a raise from Joseph Haddad. Haddad made the call and tabled {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. Seidel held {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} {3-Hearts}.

The flop came {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. The turn and river came the {5-Hearts} and the {3-Spades} to make Seidel a full house and double him up.

Seidel now has over 90,000.

Slowing Down

Though we've had two eliminations since returning from the dinner break, things have certainly slowed down here in the Brasilia room. Table 6 hasn't seen a flop in the last twenty minutes.

Ugly Duckling

Erik Seidel just informed the tournament staff that there was a mark or dent in one of the cards that was dealt to him. The dealer mucked Seidel's hand, but Seidel remembered which card it was. After all of the players folded, Seidel let the tournament director know that the ace of spades was the card that was marked. The tournament director sifted through the deck to find that the once proclaimed 'most beautiful card in the deck' was now the ugliest card in the deck and a new set of 52 will be implemented.

Deuces Good Against Ustinov

Mikhail Ustinov raised pot from early position and then Daniel Klein asked him how much he had behind. Ustinov said he had just 7,000 behind and then Klein moved him all in. Ustinov called.

Ustinov showed {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} and Klein showed {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts} and Klein's deuces held up to take the pot and eliminate Ustinov from the event. There was no low.

Adams Out

Dan Adams raised to 12,000 from the small blind after the action folded to him. The big blind, Michael Fetter, made the call.

The flop came {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} and Adams shoved all in for 18,000. Fetter made the call. Fetter showed {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades} and Adams held {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and the river the {A-Diamonds} to give Fetter the win. Adams was eliminated right before the dinner break began.

Fetter Eliminates Two

All the money went in preflop between Michael Fetter, Brent Carter, and Laurent Lefrancq.

Fetter held J-Q-K-K, Carter had Jad A-J-J-6, and Laurent had A-2-3-Q.

The flop fell {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}, flopping the nuts for Fetter with Carter drawing dead and Laurent looking for the case ace or the case queen. Fetter nabbed the whole thing and is up to 220,000 afterwards.

Smith Bounced By Maren

On this hand we have another PokerNews all in moment when Ed Smith moved in after Jonathan Maren made a raise. Maren made the call.

Maren: {A-Spades} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Smith: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts}

The flop, turn, and river were dealt quickly by the dealer and ran out {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}.

Smith was eliminated and Maren moves up to 95,000.
