Seiborg Takes One Down

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We came to the table after a player had moved all in under the gun. On the button, Tyler Patterson called. Action was on Erik Seidel in the small blind and he took a while to count out a raise to 8,000 and put it in the pot.

This is when the player in the big blind went into the tank. He sat for about five minutes looking at his cards, counting the pot, and counting the chips to see what kind of equity he had in the hand. Eventually though, after his long tank, he made a pained look and slid his cards into the muck. Action was back on Tyler Patterson who folded.

Seidel: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Under The Gun: {A-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The board rolled out very safe for Seidel when it came {J-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} giving him the elimination along with the rest of the chips in the pot. While the player in the big blind looked even more pained after seeing the flop.

"I guess it's just poetic justice that you knocked me out," the player who had been eliminated said to Seidel. With that, he scooped the pot and gathered some of his newly acquired soldiers.
