Seidel Survives to Double

The big blind was on Nick Schulman but he wasn’t there due to receiving what appeared to be a one round penalty for using the F-Word in a sentence towards Fabrizio Gonzalez when the two exchanged words. As for the hand, Gonzalez limped in middle position as did the hijack and David Sands in the cutoff. The action was then on Erik Seidel who potted to 19,500 on the button and only the hijack called.

On the {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, the hijack set Seidel all in for his last 15,500 who didn’t look to happy but made the call anyways.

Seidel: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Hijack: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-}{2-Spades}

The hijack was in prime positon to knockout Seidel who picked up some additional outs on the {6-Spades} turn. The river was the {10-Spades} to give the hijack two pair...but it also gave Seidel Broadway as he doubled up.

With Bill Gazes and Sands having recently joined the table, it will certainly be one to watch from here on out.
