Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Erik Seidel limped in on the button, and Joshua Wang checked in the big blind. Seidel pushed in a bet of 150,000 on the 486 flop, which Wang check-raised to 400,000.

Seidel then raised the pot, to which Wang responded by putting the Hall of Famer all in for 3,400,000. Seidel immediately called.

Erik Seidel: Q975 All in
Joshua Wang: Q886

Seidel had flopped the nut straight, while Wang had top set and a flush draw. The 4 turn effectively ended the tournament, as Seidel had no outs against Wang's full house.

The former opponents shook hands as the meaningless Q river completed the board, and Seidel took his exit one spot shy of capturing his 11th bracelet.
