Seidel Busts Esfandiari and Gruissem

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

A very short-stacked Philipp Gruissem raised to 50,000 in the hijack, leaving about 50,000 behind. Erik Seidel three-bet to 100,000 in the cutoff, Antonio Esfandiari three-bet to 230,000 out of the big blind, and Gruissem immediately called all in. Seidel moved all in for effectively 370,000, and Esfandiari called.

Gruissem: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Seidel: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Esfandiari: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop fell {6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, giving Esfandiari a backdoor flush draw to go with his one overcard, but the {7-Hearts} on the turn left him drawing to the three aces in the deck. Gruissem needed one of the two remaining fours, and neither player was fortunate enough to bink as the {k-Hearts} completed the board.

Seidel is up to 860,000 chips, while Esfandiari and Gruissem are both eliminated.
