Seidel Spikes Turn Against De Meulder

Level 2 : 400/800, 100 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

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 {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} 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 {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and was up against Seidel's {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, 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 {2-Diamonds} 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.

Faraz Jaka Eliminated

Level 2 : 400/800, 100 ante

Faraz Jaka raised to 2,000 on the button, Eric Froehlich three-bet to 5,900 from the small blind and Jaka called to see a {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} flop.

Froehlich continued for 6,600, Jaka put out 10,000 (which was forced to be a min-raise to 13,200), Froehlich reraised to 28,000 and Jaka tanked for about two minutes before reraising all in. Froehlich called all in about 71,000 with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, well ahead of Jaka's {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The {7-Clubs} turn and {2-Diamonds} river were no help to Jaka, dropping him to 1,100 before he busted shortly thereafter.

Froehlich now holds the lead at Table 360.

"Sorry Guys, It Won't Be Too Much Longer"

Level 2 : 400/800, 100 ante

With around 17,000 in the pot and a board reading {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond bet 10,600 from the small blind and Nick Abou Risk paused for a few beats before announcing that he was all in for approximately 40,000.

Galfond didn't seem to like it, and he hit the tank to contemplate his decision. Nearly five minutes ticked by before Galfond told the table, which contained Risk and Stewart Newman, "Sorry guys, it won't be too much longer."

Indeed, another 30 seconds passed and Galfond released his hand.

Linde and Cody Heads Up

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jusr before the break...

With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Luke Graham tanked for his remaining 43,000 or so after Jake Cody set him all in. After about two minutes Graham called all in.

Cody tabled {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for a flush, Graham mucked (though his hand was shown to be {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}), and Cody scored the elimination.

Cody begins heads-up play against Dylan Linde with about a 1.8:1 chip lead.
