Seidel Stacking Chips Heads Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Erik Seidel, heads up at his first round table, raised the action to 1,800 preflop. His opponent made the call and the two saw a flop of {7-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. His opponent checked and Seidel continued out with 2,200. The call was made and the turn came {5-Diamonds}. Once again the opponent check-called, only this time the bet was 5,000. The {8-Hearts} fell on the river and once again there was a check to Seidel, who came out with 10,000. His opponent folded and Seidel scooped the pot, increasing his chip lead to around 110,000 in chips.

Williams Defeats Greenstein

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

We caught up with the action as the cards were being turned over for a preflop all in with Barry Greenstein's tournament life on the line.

Greenstein: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Williams: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop brought good news for Greenstein, falling {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. However, as quickly as joy was brought to Greenstein, it was taken away just as quick when Williams paired up with the {10-Spades} falling on the turn. The river's {A-Hearts} brought them both two pair, with Williams' aces and tens taking the cake.

Jeff Williams will advance to the next round.

"I had a spade," Benyamine's opponent said.

Terry Advances

Catching the action with the board reading {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Hearts} we found Stuart Rutter firing out a bet into Todd Terry.

Terry pushed a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips into the pot to effectively put Rutter all in, and after nearly two minutes of deliberation, Rutter made the call.

Terry tabled his {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for trips, and Rutter mucked while simultaneously sending Terry through to round two.
