Croft Clips Seidel's stack
A player in middle position limped in and was raised to 900 by Brandon Croft in the hijack seat. Directly behind *him* was Erik Seidel in the cutoff, who also came along for a three-way pot.
The flop came 

and both players checked to Seidel, who fired 2,000 into the middle. The original limper folded, but Croft then check-raised all in for 6,575 total. Seidel let out a long sigh and committed calling chips.
Seidel: 
for the nut flush draw.
Croft: 
for a pair of eights and an open-ender.
The
turn and
river bricked out for Seidel and Croft doubled up.
Seidel is back down to 27,000 in chips.
