Soheil Shamseddin completed third street and Chris Amaral raised. Chino Rheem, Dewey Tomko and Shamseddin all made the call to fourth. Amaral bet again and everyone called.
When Amaral bet fifth street, Tomko got out of the way while Rheem and Shamseddin called. After Amaral bet sixth and both his opponents called, everyone checked seventh street.
Amaral showed two pair which was enough to take down the large pot and increase his stack to 43,500. Both Rheem and Shamseddin dropped to around 24,500.
Erik Seidel checked a board of and his opponent in Seat 2 bet. Seidel raised and Seat 2 apprehensively made the call. Seidel showed for a pair of nines but was behind Seat 2's for top pair.
Seidel is sitting with 30,500, just a little over the starting stack.
David Williams brought it in and was able to see fourth street for cheap as three players limped in. On fourth, the player in Seat 6 led with a bet and Williams called, before check-raising on fifth. Williams led the betting on sixth and finally got a fold from his opponent on the river.
