A Huge Pot for Seif

We pick up the action on the turn in what developed to be a huge pot between Mark Seif and Jamal Maistriaux. The board shows {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} . Jamal bets 22,000, and Mark raises the minimum, making it 44,000 to play. Jamal goes deep into the tank, long enough that another player at the table calls the clock on him. With eight seconds left before his hand was killed, he puts in the call.

The river is the {5-Spades}. Mark Seif moves all in for 43,000, and Jamal calls much more quickly this time. Seif turns over {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, having turned a full house. Jamal mucks his hand, leaving himself with 80,000 chips. Seif, meanwhile, has recaptured the chip lead with 256,000.
