Mark Seif Does Work

Men "The Master" Nguyen and Mark Seif are seated at the table, and they found themselves both all in preflop in a four-way pot. Nguyen held {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}, and Seif was on {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} with 6,900 chips in the pot. The two other players held {6-Spades} {4-Hearts} and {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades} respectively.

There was no further action, so the dealer ran out the full board: {2-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades} {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}. Mark Seif caught two of his out cards, and he added a nice chunk to his stack.

Both of the unknown losing players bought back for double. On the very next hand, Mark Seif got both of them all in again for 4,000 apiece. Seif had the big ones this time, {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. His two foes held {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. There was no help for either of them on the board of {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}, and Seif's full house bumps him up further to 28,000 chips.
