Erik Seidel raised to 5,500 from the cutoff and Ben Alcober re-raised all in for 30,100.

Seidel looked at the chips and said "I may have to call." He almost thought better of it when he heard the total. "Wow, that's a lot," he said before making the call.

Seidel: {A-Hearts}

Alcober:

When the flop came {A-Spades}

, Seidel was wishing he'd held on to his chips. The {4-Hearts}

and

didn't improve his hand, and his stack shrunk to 99,900.

Desveaux Rockets Past Snead

[user67765]

Scott Desveaux wanted to get a mention in our blog to say hi to his mom and dad back home...now he gets a mention for taking down a huge pot and eliminating Paul Snead in the process.

After Gavin Griffith had opened with a raise from under the gun, it was the sneaky preflop flat call by Scott Desveaux in middle position that lured Snead into the trap. Play folded to Snead in the cutoff who moved all in for 32,700, and as Griffin folded Desveaux snap-called with {A-Hearts}

to have Snead in bad shape with his {3-Clubs}

.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}

and after a count down of chip Desveaux just had his opponent covered to send Snead to the rail and jump himself up to 75,000.
