Nikolaus [Removed:552] Doubles Up

THE FIFTY--Nikolaus [Removed:552] opened the pot for 350, Erik Seidel re-raised to 1,675, Nenad Medic called and Thomas Wahlroos came along for the ride as well. The flop was {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, with everyone checking to [Removed:552], who moved all in for his remaining 10,450. Seidel passed and Medic went into the tank for three minutes or so before making the call. Wahlroos folded.

[Removed:552] turned up the {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair and an open-ended straight draw and was ahead of Medic's {J-Spades}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Clubs}, the river was the {4-Clubs} and [Removed:552]'s flush earned him what those in his native Austria would call a "monsterpott."

"Erik Seidel gets a lot of respect," [Removed:552] joked, as he stacked up his 28,500 in chips, a far cry from the 10,200 he was down to earlier.
