Seidel Doubles Through Chen

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

James Chen raised first to act to 240,000 and Erik Seidel defended the big blind. On a {j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, Seidel checked and Chen continued for 240,000. After some consideration, Seidel announced pot and slid forward a raise to 1,000,000.

Some discussion broke out on the table on how much the check-raise could be, which happened to be 1,200,000, and Chen eventually shrugged and tossed in the chips.

Technically, Seidel was not all in yet but they tabled their cards anyway.

Erik Seidel: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
James Chen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The {2-Clubs} turn and {10-Hearts} river were no threat and Seidel doubled his stack of 1,290,000 to put a dent into Chen's steamrolling performance as of lately.
