After several all ins without showdowns, Erik Seidel was down to 785,000 on the button and moved all in. Mike Watson checked for the stack of Nick Petrangelo in the big blind, who had 1.2M, and also moved all in with a very similar stack in the small blind. Petrangelo folded and the cards were turned over.

Mike Watson: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Erik Seidel: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

"That's not good for me," Seidel said when the cards were revealed, but he got there thanks to a board of {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. The stacks were counted and Watson had 765,000, just two antes less than Seidel, to join the rail in 8th place. Watson receives €118,000 for his efforts, while all remaining seven players have €152,140 locked up.
