Seiborg Does it Again

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Chino Rheem folded the button and Jason Mercier raised to 90,000 from the small blind. Erik Seidel three-bet to 220,000 and after some thought Mercier moved all in. Seidel immediately called putting his own tournament life at risk.

Mercier: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Seidel: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop hit Seidel right away when it landed {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Brent Hanks asked the dealer for at least something that looked like a five and she delievered. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} drawing a moan from the crowd. However, that didn't quite get Mercier there, nor did the {9-Spades} river.

After counting out Seidel's stack, Mercier shipped over 1.2 million, leaving himself with just 665,000. Rheem is still our chip leader with about 3.7 million.
