With Erik Seidel still battling it out three-handed for a place on yet another WSOP final table, it truly is justification for his recent acceptance in the WSOP Poker Hall of Fame.
Consequently, we thought we should look at some of the previous inductees since 1979.
Jordan Young opened his button with an 8,000-chip min-raise only to have Todd Terry three-bet to 20,000. Young made the call, and when faced with a 22,000-chip bet on the flop, he called that too.
With the dealer dropping the on the river, Terry pushed for his last 107,000, and after a lengthy deliberation, Young folded.
Terry flashed his for a semi-bluff as he raked in the pot to move to 192,000 in chips.
Mark Radoja opened the button to 8,000 only to have Yasuhiro Waki three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind. Radoja pushed a stack of 25,000-denomination chips into the pot and Waki called off his 119,000.
Radoja:
Waki:
With Waki in dominating shape, the board would ensure his double to 239,000 as Radoja slipped back to 361,000 in chips.
As Waki was pushed the pot, he went on a celebratory rant running round the room before the Tournament Director issued him his last warning on excessive celebration.
On a flop we found JP Kelly raising himself all in against Tom Marchese.
Kelly:
Marchese:
With Kelly needing to spike a spade or running cards for a straight, the on the turn would be one of his runner-runner outs.
Unfortunately for the former bracelet holder, the on the river wouldn't be his ideal card as he was bundled out in 18th place as Tom Marchese advances through to the final table.
