Seidel Succumbs

Erik Seidel's run in the $50,000 Poker Player's Championship has fallen agonizingly short of the cash after he was just eliminated from the event.

It started off well for Seidel with aces in the hole and a raise on third before all the chips were in on fourth street against Vladimir Schmelev. Here's how the boards ran out:

Schmelev: ({10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}) {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} ({K-Diamonds})
Seidel: ({A-Clubs}{A-Spades}) {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} ({8-Spades})

Schmelev caught trips on fourth street which was enough to collect the pot and send Seidel to the rail. Schmelev is up to 1.24 million.
