Yeh Told No By Seidel

Seidel puts stop to Yeh
Seidel puts stop to Yeh
With the action on Philip Yeh under the gun, he put in a raise, only to be met with a re-raise from Erik Seidel next to speak.

Yeh pushed his remaining chips into the middle with Seidel making the call.

Yeh: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Seidel: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop of {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs} left Yeh with only a slim runner-runner draw, and when the {8-Diamonds} landed on the river he was out of his seat and collecting his $3,352 for his 49th placing.

With Seidel claiming another victim for the tournament, he climbs to just over 90,000 in chips.

We caught the action on the flop of {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Hearts} with Saul Brooks open-shoving and finding a double-fist-pump-snap call from Petteri Pirinen.

Brooks sheepishly tabled his {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to be in bad shape against Pirinen's {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

With no King or Ace falling when the {5-Clubs} and {3-Hearts} landing on the turn and river, Brooks hit the river as Pirinen climbed to 101,000 in chips.
