Seidel Spikes Turn Against De Meulder
Level 2
: 400/800, 100 ante
Christophe De Meulder almost sent eight-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Erik Seidel to the rail, but thanks to a very lucky turn, Seidel is still alive.
On the 
flop, Seidel had checked, and De Meulder bet 11,700. Seidel thought for a bit and then announced that he was all in. De Meulder snap-called with the 
and was up against Seidel's 
.
The turn was the 
, catapulting Seidel to the lead with a set of tens. De Meulder could still hit a jack for a higher set or an eight for a straight to win the hand, but the 
wasn't it.
Seidel counted out his stack, which was 51,700, and he doubled to 124,000. De Meulder was left with 22,000.
