Erik Seidel Eliminated in 9th Place ($107,192)
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Erik Seidel opened to 560,000 from early position and Quan Zhou defended from the big blind.
The flop came 7♣9♣3♦ and Zhou shoved. Seidel had around 400,000 behind and called, putting himself at risk.
Erik Seidel: A♠A♥10♥2♦
Quan Zhou: Q♠Q♥9♠4♥
Seidel was ahead with the better overpair and the K♦ turn changed nothing for either player. The Q♣ river gave Zhou a set of queens to send the Poker Hall of Famer to the rail and win the hand.
