Both Erik Seidel and Max Pescatori are at the moment very limited in chips. Seidel has 700,000 and Pescatori has 630,000. The big names of poker left in this tournament are going to have to work hard from here to win this thing.

With the flop reading {6-Hearts}

Seidel check-called a bet of 125,000. The turn brought the {Q-Spades}

and again Seidel checked with Ling leading out with a 325,000 bet. With only 508,000 behind, it left Seidel with a tournament life decision.

After tanking for a good 5 minutes Seidel pushed all of his last chips in holding {10-Hearts}
