Seidel Runs Into Kings
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Erik Seidel opened to 800 from under the gun and Fintan Hand called on the button before Ettore Esposito three-bet to 4,300 in the small blind. Seidel called and Hand folded.
Esposito continued for 3,500 on the 9♥7♦2♣ flop and Seidel called. Esposito then bet 10,000 on the 10♣ turn and Seidel raised all in for around 15,000. Esposito called with a bigger stack.
Erik Seidel: 9♠8♠
Ettore Esposito: K♣K♠
Seidel had top pair and an open-ended straight draw but couldn't crack the kings of Esposito as the Q♠ river bricked off to mark the Poker Hall of Famer's elimination.
