Seibel Flushes Morvan Out
Higor Seibel opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Romain Morvan on the button.
Seibel checked to Morvan, who bet 1,600 on the J♣7♥10♣ flop. Seibel paused before making it 6,000 to go. Undeterred, Morvan came back over the top with a raise to 21,600 — leaving himself just 4,000 behind. Seibel called.
The A♣ fell on the turn and Seibel led out for 4,000 to put Morvan all in. Morvan obliged and hands were revealed.
Romain Morvan: A♥J♠
Higor Seibel: 6♣5♣
Morvan was in rough shape against Seibel's turned flush and would need to draw to an unlikely full house to double up. It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 7♠ river bricked out — sending the large pot Seibel's way and eliminating Morvan.
Seibel, who placed runner-up in the Main Event last year, now sits with approximately 70,000 in chips and will be looking to make another deep run.
