Fast Sent Home By Seiver

Level 12 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

it's unclear how and when the chips went in but Scott Seiver was holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} against Dietrich Fast's {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Fast was all in and at risk as Seiver had him covered.

The board was {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{X-} and with his pair of aces and queen kicker, Seiver had the best of it. He sent Fast to the rail and registration for the event is now closed, so he will not be back in the tournament.

After collecting the pot, Seiver moved over 1 million chips.

Seidel Eliminated

Level 12 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

It folded to Erik Seidel on the button who moved all in. Brian Green was in the big blind and called putting Seidel at risk.

Erik Seidel: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Brian Green: {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Seidel needed to win the flip to stay alive, but the {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop was the worst start possible giving his opponent two pair. The turn {8-Spades} was even worse improving Green to a full house, and the river brought the {k-Diamonds} and Seidel was eliminated.

Catching the action on the river on a board of {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Spades} with a pot of over 300,000 in the middle of the table.
