Seidel Halted by Forrest

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Ted Forrest had the bring-in and Erik Seidel completed. After considering his options for close to two minutes, Forrest called, and then called Seidel's 4,500-chip all-in on fourth street.

Forrest: {A-}{2-} / {K-}{2-}{Q-}{6-} / {3-}
Seidel: {10-}{5-} / {3-}{5-}{K-}{5-} / {Q-}

With Seidel making a king-queen low, Forrest's queen-six low would see him scoop the pot and eliminate the eight-time WSOP bracelet winner.

Israelashvili Gets Value From the Bring-In

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Forrest: {X-}{X-} / {2-}{10-}{K-}{K-} / {X-}
Israelashvili: {X-}{X-} / {10-}{6-}{8-}{J-} / {X-}
Obst: {X-}{X-} / {6-}{6-} — folded

Roland Israelashvili brought in with his {10-}. Ted Forrest and James Obst both called.

On fourth, Forrest bet and only Israelashvili called. On fifth, Israelashvili took the lead. He bet and Forrest called. On sixth, Israelashvili bet again and Forrest called once more. On seventh, both players checked. Israelashvili showed {9-}{7-}{7-} for a straight, but his ten-low was still good to take down the pot.
