Pavel Plesuv raised to 160,000 from under the gun, only to face a three-bet all in from Erik Seidel for 420,000 from the hijack. Artur Martirosian, sat in the cutoff, then four-bet to 680,000 to isolate, which did the job as Plesuv got out of the way.

Erik Seidel: K♠Q♠ All in
Artur Martirosian: A♠9♠

Not the flop Seidel was looking for as it came 5♦A♦7♦, and when the 2♦ peeled off on the turn, his only hope was a chop to stay alive.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is on holiday at the moment, unfortunately for Seidel, as the dealer peeled off the Q♣ as the river to send Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel to the rail in ninth spot.
