Seo Holds to Double Up

Thomas Muehloecker opened the action with a raise from early position to 550,000, and Moonho Seo in the hijack three-bet to 1,500,000, leaving just 250,000 behind. It folded back to Muehloecker who four-bet to put Seo all in, and he quickly made the call.

Moonho Seo: 10♥10♣ All in
Thomas Muehloecker: K♠J♦

Seo was ahead with his pocket tens, but would need to win the race to stay in the tournament. The board ran out 2♣3♦A♥Q♣6♠ and the pocket tens of Seo were still best, giving him the double up.
