Seidel Eliminated

Erik Seidel was all-in for his last 30,000 or so with {9-?} {9-?}. Gus Hansen made the call with {A-?} {Q-?} managing to make the nuts on a {7-?} {J-?} {K-?} {10-?} X board to eliminated the multiple bracelet winner.

Fascinating Conversations On The Outer Table

Despite all the action going, the table talk has been a lot more interesting. Tony G, Dani Stern, Barry Greenstein and Howard Lederer have been discussing the new Rush Poker software that Full Tilt have debuted and whether or not it will be patented.

This led on to talking about how Paradise Poker basically had invented the online sit'n'go many years ago before any other poker site. The players also were talking how Party Poker and Pokerstars implementations of multi-table tournaments was the reason as to why both sites overtook Paradise was the dominant force in the market.

All very engrossing stuff.

Graham Slipping More

Tony Bloom completed from the small blind and Jarred "FlopNutsOnYou" Graham checked in the big blind. The two players saw a flop of {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} for the minimum and checked to the turn.

Fourth street was the {5-Clubs} and Bloom checked. Graham bet 5,000 and Bloom called. The river card was the {5-Spades} and Bloom led for 7,000. Graham called, but mucked to Bloom's {A-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for trip fives.

Graham slipped some more to 45,000 while Bloom moved up to 130,000.
