Erik Seidel bet 10,000 under the gun and silenced the music on his phone. Daniel Alaei in the cut off had a think about the situation. He’d surely seen three bets get through Seidel’s opens before. He went for it, raising to 26,000. The blinds folded and it was back to Seidel. “Eighty five behind” was Alaei’s response to the inevitable question. For a few minutes Seidel thought about it, rubbed his lips and eventually folded. The music went back on and he continued to nod along.
The next hand though Seidel was back in action. Jean-Noel Thorel opened from early position for 10,500, Frederik Jensen called from the button and Seidel raised to 24,000 from the big blind. Thorel wanted to see a flop and called. He saw and apparantley didn’t like what he saw as Seidel bet out for 31,000 and won the pot.
We're not sure how it happened, but Philipp Gruissem was just eliminated from the future table. The young German wandered the tournament area a bit and made it known he had plans to re-enter.
Fabian Quoss has been on the move, and he's now built his stack to over 600,000 in chips thanks to a couple of recent pots. The first one was against Dani Stern, and the second one was against Ole Schemion.
On the first hand, Philip Sternheimer opened from early position to 8,000, and Quoss made the call from the cutoff seat. Stern was in the small blind and reraised to 34,000 when action folded to him. Sternheimer folded, but Quoss came along to see the flop.
The flop was , and Stern bet 36,000. Quoss called to see the fall on the turn. Stern checked, and Quoss fired 65,000 into the pot. Stern folded, and Quoss won the pot.
On the next hand, Quoss opened with a raise from the hijack seat to 10,000. Ole Schemion reraised from the cutoff seat to 25,500, then action folded back to Quoss. He reraised and made it 65,000 to go. Schemion folded, and Quoss won the pot.
While we haven't caught all the action at the feature table, which is being live streamed, it appears some chips have been flying. One man who doesn't have as much as he used to is Steven Silverman, who just played a pot against Sandor Demjan.
In the hand, Silverman opened for 9,000 under the gun and action folded to Demjan in the big blind. The elder businessman announced a reraise to 35,000, Silverman called and then both players proceeded to check all three streets as the board ran out . Demjan showed the for nut no pair, and it was good as Silverman mucked.

Frederik Jensen opened the pot for 9,000, Daniel Alaei from the small blind made it 28,000 and big blind Mike McDonald folded. Alaei got the “How much?” question again, this time 175,000 more. Jensen made the call and tabled racing against the of Alaei. The board ran out . Jensen didn’t say anything but that queen on the turn must have stung, giving Alaei Broadway and renewed hope.
With 137,000 in the pot and a board reading , Sandor Demjan had a bet of 52,000 out in front of him and Daniel Negreanu was considering the action.
"What does Sandor have?" Negreanu inquired through the art of song. "What does Sandor have?"
Eventually Negreanu put in the chips to make the call and Demjan rolled over the for trips. "That's good," Negreanu laughed before he hand Demjan shook hands.
