Seth Gottlieb Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,052,800)
Erik Seidel limped in on the button and Seth Gottlieb opted to check.
They both checked through the Q♥K♦6♥ flop to the 5♦ on the turn. Gottlieb bet 700,000 for Seidel to make the call.
The 8♣ completed the board and Gottlieb continued with a bet of 2,800,000. Erik asked how much Gottlieb had behind and he replied that he had about 14 million. Seidel nodded and then raised it up to 9,500,000. Gottlieb responded with a shove and Seidel snap-called.
"You got it?" Gottlieb asked Seidel who tabled the 9♠7♦ for the rivered straight.
"Yeah, you got it!" Gottlieb responded and then showed he held the K♥6♦ for the flopped two pair.
Gottlieb cashes for $1,052,800 for finishing as the runner-up while Seidel claims his tenth bracelet, the first-place prize of $1,704,400, and a $25,000 bonus due to the WSOP Paradise Parlay promotion.
A recap is to follow.
