Seidel Suffers a Suckout

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}{Q-Diamonds}
Alcober: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

When the flop came {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Seidel was wishing he'd held on to his chips. The {4-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} didn't improve his hand, and his stack shrunk to 99,900.
