Seidel Drills the River to Double Through Rocco
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Simeon Tsonev limped from the cutoff and Erik Seidel limped behind on the button. Michael Rocco called from the small blind and David Paredes checked his option in the big blind for a four-way pot.
The flop came 8♦A♠4♦ and it was checked to Seidel, who put 500,000 into the middle. Rocco raised to 1,000,000 even, which got folds from Parades and Tsonev, but a shove from Seidel for slightly more. Rocco quickly called and hands were revealed.
Erik Seidel: K♦7♣5♦3♥
Michael Rocco: 10♣8♥8♠3♣
Rocco held the lead with his set of eights and maintained it on the 2♣ turn, but the J♦ river completed Seidel's flush draw to award him the double-up.
