"The Quiet Lion" Silenced

[user38449]

Facing a preflop raise, Richard Brodie re-popped the action, making it 900 to go; his opponent called.

The flop came {9-Hearts}

and Brodie's 300 bet was called by his sole opponent. The {9-Clubs}

fell on the turn and Brodie bet again, only to be raised by his opponent. Brodie announced one last raise, putting his last 1725 in the pot; his opponent called.

When they flipped their cards over, Brodie's pocket sixes were drawing very slim against his opponent's pocket kings, and the {J-Diamonds}

on the river made it official, eliminating Brodie from the event.

Seidel Busts Two

[user38449]

In what was a preflop all-in fest involving Erik Seidel and two unknown players, Seidel struck gold on the flop, hitting a set of tens to go with the two nines that came on the flop, making Erik tens full.

The turn and river blanked out and Seidel had both opponents covered, eliminating them from the tournament.

Another player at the table teased Seidel, saying, "So that's what it takes to win a bracelet!"

After the hand, Seidel stacked up approximately 13,000 chips.
