Erik Slidel

Erik Seidel has dropped right back down to below his starting stack. The poker legend was tanking for several minutes on the river of a {5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board after his opponent had moved his last 15,875 into the middle with the pot already at the 36,000 point.

Finally Seidel made the call and was shown {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} for his trouble, the veteran flipped {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} perhaps slightly lamenting his misfortune at the case king coming on the flop.
