Level 5 : 100/300, 300 ante

Just before the break, Erik Seidel and Alex Foxen were involved in a big pot that lasted five minutes into the break.

There was already 23,000 in the middle with the board showing {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and action was on Seidel who checked over to Foxen. Foxen was on the button and he put out a bet of 16,800, leaving himself with about 13,000 behind. Seidel dropped into the tank and thought for several minutes before eventually deciding to call.

Foxen turned up his {10-Spades}{6-Spades} for a missed gutshot straight draw, and Seidel quickly showed his {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and stacked up the big pot, putting him over 70,000 before heading off to break.
