Seidel Sliding

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

A recent stretch of hands at the hands of Matthew Ashton has seen nine-time WSOP bracelet winner Erik Seidel slide deeply into the danger zone as the money bubble approaches.

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

After defending his big blind from Seidel preflop, on a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts}, Ashton bet from the big blind and received a call.

the turn brought the {3-Hearts}, and after another bet from Ashton, Seidel chose to fold.

Razz

The round of Razz began immediately after, and after Ashton completed with an {a-}, Seidel defended with a {7-}. Seidel then drew a queen on fourth while Ashton picked up a {5-}, prompting a bet from Ashton and a fold from Seidel.

The following hand saw the two do battle yet again, with Ashton defending his bring-in {10-} to a completion from Seidel. Ashton then bet fourth street picking up a {2-}, while Seidel opted to call despite picking up a {j-}.

Fifth street saw Seidel draw a {q-}, while Ashton picked up an {a-}. Seidel quickly folded to a bet which would have cost his last 100,000 chips.

Seven Card Stud

Bryce Yockey: {x-}{x-} / {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {x-}
Dan Smith: {x-}{x-} / {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} / {x-}

Dan Smith bet from fourth all the way to sixth street with Bryce Yockey calling him down. Smith bet on seventh street but this time Yockey tank-folded.

Paur Arrives at Baker Street

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Seven Card Stud

David "ODB" Baker: {x-}{x-} / {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / {x-}
Taylor Paur: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} / {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

David "ODB" Baker check-called all the way as of fifth street with an ace-high board showing as he faced the bets by Taylor Paur, who had a gutshot straight board showing. Ultimately, Baker also quickly check-called on seventh straight and was indeed shown the straight by Paur to lose a significant portion of his stack.

Kihara Survives Scary Board

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Naoya Kihara limped in the small blind and Philip Sternheimer checked his big blind.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Kihara check-called 40,000. The two checked down the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} runout and Kihara, perhaps sheepishly, turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Sternheimer mucked and Kihara took down the point.

Gonzales Kisses a Few of His Chips Goodbye

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Koray Aldemir raised to 60,000, John Racener called in the small blind, and with a kiss of his chips, Matthew Gonzales tossed in a call from the big blind.

Each player then drew only one card, and it was Racener who led out with a post-draw bet for 115,000. Gonzales folded, but Aldemir called to see racener show {9-}{8-}{5-}{3-}{2-} for the winner.

Seidel Gets Shorter

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Seven Card Stud

Dan Cates: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} / {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Erik Seidel: {x-}{x-} / {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} / {x-}

Erik Seidel called down bets by Dan Cates as of fifth street when Cates showed a pair of sixes followed by two open pair in sixth. While Cates' hand didn't improve with the down cards, it was still good to win the pot.

The game variant then switched to Omaha Hi-Lo and Cates raised on the button for Johannes Becker to call. They checked the {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} flop and Becker bet the {8-Diamonds} turn to win the pot right there.

Weinman Folds to Dzivielevski Raise

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Both Daniel Weinman and Yuri Dzivielevski both put in three bets before the first draw. Dzivielevski drew two and Weinman drew one. Dzivielevski check-called a bet and the draws repeated.

Dzivielevski check-called another bet and both players drew one. This time the Brazilian check-raised and Weinman instantly threw his hand into the muck.

More for Kihara and Becker

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Picking up the action prior to the second draw, Naoya Kihara and Bryce Yockey both invested a bet each. Kihara then took one while Yockey took two and Kihara bet. Yockey raised and that sent his opponent into the tank as he carefully checked the stack behind before making the call.

On the final draw, Kihara patted and Kihara discarded one. Both checked and the {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} of Kihara won the pot much to the relief of the mixed game specialist from Japan.

One table over, Dan Cates battled with Johannes Becker in a Seven Card Stud hand at the very same time.

Johannes Becker: {x-}{x-} / {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / {x-}
Dan Cates: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} / {x-}

Cates bet sixth street with a pair of fives and three diamonds showing for Becker to call. Cates also bet seventh and then folded to a raise.
