Seidel Scoops; Zappulla Next to Fall
Level 17
: Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
With several players holding severe short stacks, James Obst and Bryce Yockey chipped up with the former earning a full scoop.
Erik Seidel also won a decent pot off John Hennigan when his A♠J♥5♥4♠ rivered the nuts on the K♠Q♦4♦5♠9♠ board to get one more bet from Hennigan.
The same table then saw the all-in of Paul Zappulla for one full bet only from the cutoff, earning calls from Alan Sternberg and Brad Ruben out of the blinds. Both active players checked to the K♦J♣2♦A♠K♣ river on which Sternberg check-folded to Ruben's bet.
In showdown, Ruben revealed the K♥9♣8♦7♥ for trips kings and Zappulla was eliminated with the A♥Q♠5♦3♠.
