McDonald and Seidel Looking for Back-to-Back Final Tables
Level 17
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Last year, this very event attracted 55 entries and ended up with a stacked final table that included both Erik Seidel and Mike McDonald, who finished in sixth and fifth place respectively. Both of those men are alive in this year's tournament and looking to make back-to-back Super High Roller final tables here in Barcelona.
Both are in good shape to do so; in fact, there's only one more elimination to go until the final table so unless one of them fall it's going to happen. Stay tuned!
