Erik Seidel Has Been Eliminated

After two players limped into the pot Erik Seidel moved all in for his last 1,350. Seidel was probably hoping to pick up the pot without a fight, but one of the limpers called and showed {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} to Seidel's {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. Erik had two live cards, but when his opponent flopped an ace he was drawing very thin indeed and ended up being eliminated.
