Seidel Applies Pressure

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With less than half an hour of play to go today, Erik Seidel is stepping on the gas. Frederik Jensen opened for 12,000 from the button and was raised by Seidel from the small blind to 30,000. The big blind folded, Jensen made the call and the dealer gave them {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Seidel maintained the initiative and led for 35,000. Jensen called him and they saw a turn card of {10-Spades}. Seidel cut out a stack of blue chips in to three neat piles. The bet was 75,000. Jensen had a look at how much Seidel had behind. If he wanted to continue in this hand it looked like they were playing for stacks. Jensen folded.

The next hand Daniel Alaei opened for 12,000 and this time from the button, Seidel was at it again. A three bet to 30,000. Everyone believed and the chips were once again slid over to his stack. Could he be gathering momentum?
