Gruissem Eliminated, Seidel Back in the Hunt

Level 8 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Philipp Gruissem just raised to 25,000 and Erik Seidel decided to move all in for exactly 200,000 chips from the small blind. Gruissem took a look at his stack, did some counting, and made the call.

Gruissem: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Seidel: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and the river kept Seidel alive. Gruissem was left with just 42,000 chips and those went into the pot two hands later. Gruissem moved all in from the small blind for and Paul Phua called the little raise from the big.

Gruissem: {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Phua: {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and that was it for the German top pro.
