Seidel Dives Under Seven Figures

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau limped in on the button, and Erik Seidel checked his option in the big blind. Both players checked the 8♣5♣A♦ flop and 7♦ turn.

Seidel also checked the 4♣ river, after which Lau bet 200,000. After some thought, Seidel slammed in calling chips.

Lau tabled Q♣J♣8♠7♣ for a flush, and Seidel mucked his cards in defeat. The pot was shipped to Lau as Seidel was left with nine and a half big blinds.

Quan Zhou just called under the gun. Gergo Nagy did so in the cutoff, Biao Ding completed his small blind, and Richard Gryko checked in the big blind.

It checked to Nagy on the 10♠K♥8♣ flop. Nagy bet 175,000, which only Ding called.

Nagy sized up to 500,000 on the 2♥ turn. This time, Ding check-folded, shipping the pot to Nagy.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded to Frank Crivello in the small blind, who only had Farid Jattin in the big blind to contend with.

As quick as a flash, the stacks found themselves in the middle. Crivello limped, Jattin raised, and Crivello announced "pot." Before the bet amount had been confirmed, Jattin had moved all in. Crivello wasted no time in calling, and, as the shorter of the two stacks, found himself at risk.

Frank Crivello: A♦K♦10♠7♦ All in
Farid Jattin: A♠A♥7♠3♦

Crivello found some help on the 10♦4♣J♠ flop, which provided him with a straight draw.

The turn brought instant service, coming the Q♠ to give him Broadway.

Jattin needed a spade river to retake the lead and eliminate Crivello, but the J♣ was no help, and instead Jattin slid a big portion of his stack over to his tablemate.

Player	Chips	Progress
Frank Crivello	4,770,000 3,870,000	3,870,000
Farid Jattin	1,050,000 4,110,000	4,110,000

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Farid Jattin raised to 350,000 in the cutoff. Ka Kwan Lau put in a tiny three-bet to 600,000 in the small blind, which Jattin called.

Jattin had 400,000 behind, and he called off when Lau put him all in on the 8♦Q♥6♥ flop.

Farid Jattin: K♥J♦6♦5♥ All in
Ka Kwan Lau: A♥A♣Q♠Q♦

Jattin had plenty of outs, but none arrived on the 10♠ turn or 4♣ river, sending him to the exit.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Frank Crivello bumped it up to 350,000 in the hijack. It folded to Erik Seidel in the big blind, who quickly moved all in for 775,000. Crivello called, and the cards hit their backs.

Erik Seidel: A♠A♥K♠K♦ All in
Frank Crivello: K♥10♥10♦3♦

Seidel had the superior hand preflop, but Crivello made a runner-runner flush on the J♦2♣7♥2♦4♦ runout to win the pot and knock the Hall of Famer out.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Dylan Linde raised to 350,000 under the gun. Frank Crivello called in the cutoff, as did Manuel Stojanovic in the big blind.

Stojanovic checked to Linde on the 6♦4♦9♣ flop, who went all in for about a pot-sized bet. Crivello quickly called, prompting Stojanovic to get out of the way.

Dylan Linde: A♣K♠K♦7♦ All in
Frank Crivello: A♦K♥10♦9♥

The 6♠ turn paired the board, providing Linde with a big lead. The Q♣ river helped neither player, doubling up Linde.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick has lost a few pots from what was a huge chip lead earlier. In this hand, he raised to 350,000 from under the gun. Dirk Gerritse then raised the pot from the small blind, a total of 1,150,000. Chidwick made the call.

The flop came 8♠5♠3♠ and Gerritse checked it over to Chidwick, who bet 350,000. Gerritse made the call.

The turn brought the Q♦, and Gerritse checked again. Chidwick bet 400,000 this time. Gerritse called again.

Both players checked on the A♦ river, and Gerritse revealed the A♥A♣J♦6♦ for three aces, and he won the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action was joined just as the dealer revealed the turn on a 6♦7♣7♥4♥ board, and roughly 600,000 in the pot.

Youness Barakat was first to act, as the big blind, and put out a bet of 350,000. Manuel Stojanovic proceeded with a call.

The river brought the 3♠, and Barakat opted to check. Stojanovic was ready to play a bigger pot and bet 500,000. Barakat took his time to consider the board and his options, but ultimately decided to call.

Stojanovic delivered the bad news, announcing that he had quads and tabling A♥Q♦7♠7♦. Barakat returned his cards face down to the dealer, and Stojanovic dragged in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Manuel Stojanovic	3,400,000 1,000,000	1,000,000
Youness Barakat	1,500,000 2,025,000	2,025,000
