Seidel Surges with River Save

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Both Sam Trickett and Erik Seidel committed 55,000 preflop from the blinds to see a {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop fall.

Trickett fired out 68,000 before Seidel made it 215,000 to go. Trickett moved all in and Seidel made the call for his 617,000 total.

Trickett: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Seidel: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}

With Seidel trailing, but needing any king or spade to take the lead and remain alive, the {A-Clubs} on the turn would change little.

But just like it happened several hands previously, the {Q-Spades} on the river would save Seidel's tournament and see him move to 1,350,000 as Trickett slides down to 340,000 in chips.
