Seidel Doubles Up and Ousts Suvarna Soon After
Erik Seidel opened to 11,000 from under the gun and was only called by Dinesh Alt from the big blind.
The J♠8♦3♠ flop checked through to the 3♣ turn, and Alt led out for 17,000. Seidel called. Alt then sized up to 40,000 on the 3♥ river before Seidel jammed for 54,000. Alt quickly called and the cards went on their backs.
Alt tabled his K♦J♥ for a full house, threes full of jacks. However, Seidel had the better hand as he turned over his J♦J♣ for jacks full of threes.
Two hands later, the €100,000 EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller bubbe boy Santhosh Suvarna moved all in from early position for around 75,000 and Seidel called from the small blind.
Santhosh Suvarna: A♥Q♦
Erik Seidel: 8♠8♥
Suvarna paired up to take the lead on the Q♥J♦9♣ flop. However, Seidel had a gut-shot straight draw to go along with his set outs. The 5♦ turn was a brick, but the 10♠ river completed Seidel's straight for him to rake in another big pot.
