Erik Seidel Eliminated in 4th Place ($260,260)
Level 16
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Hand 52: Action folded to Erik Seidel in the small blind and he moved in for just under 400,000 with 
. Big blind Steve O'Dwyer didn't need too much time calling with 
.
The flop came 
which left Seidel drawing very thin.
Commentator Lex Veldhuis mentioned a jack would be the best card Seidel could hope for to appear on the turn and he got just that with the 
.
O'Dwyer still had an 82 percent chance of winning but a chop was now a possibility.
Unfortunately for Seidel, however, the 
on the river wasn't one of the cards he was looking for.
After bubbling the $100,000 event earlier this week, Seidel now out in 4th place for $260,260. The remaining 3 players are guaranteed $339,480 from here on out.
