Well, that escalated quickly.

Scott Seiver open-shoved again - this time for around 800,000 in the cutoff - and Andrew Phaedonos called all in for less from the small blind.

Seiver: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Phaedonos: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

As we highlighted earlier, Phaedonos is the only Aussie at the final table, so his rail was up on their feet before the cards were on their backs. The {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop gave Seiver backdoor straight and flush draws to go along with his two over cards, and both draws remained live when the turn was the {10-Diamonds}.

“Too many outs!” someone yelled from the rail.

Phaedonos was amongst his brethren, pacing in between streets, and they all fell silent as the dealer rapped the table for a final time.

The {4-Spades} on the river was a brick, and Phaedonos’ rail exploded. The Aussie doubled through, while Seiver is back on the short stack.
