Seidel Flushed Away in Massive Pot

Level 6 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Phil Ivey raised to 11,000 from middle position and Byron Kaverman called from the button. Erik Seidel then three-bet to 38,000 from the small blind, Ivey got out of the way, and Kaverman called to see a {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Seidel led out for 42,000, Kaverman raised to 87,000, and Seidel thought for awhile before moving all in for 232,500 total. Kaverman called.

Kaverman: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Seidel: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Kaverman flopped top pair with a flush draw, but Seidel was out in front with pocket queens. The {K-Hearts} turn was of no consequence, but the {A-Diamonds} river was. Kaverman spiked his flush, and after the stacks were verified Seidel exited the tournament floor.
