Close, But No Cigar

Erik Seidel

Erik Seidel raises to 3,500 UTG and it is folded around to Brad Simmons on the big blind. He is short stacked, so if he calls it will put him all in.

He goes into the tank.

He stays in the tank.

He is still in the tank.

Eventually, he calls and turns over {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Seidel has {6-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The flop is {6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and it is like the entire tournament is holding their breath. If Seidel's pair of sixes hold up, we are in the money.

The turn card is the {Q-Spades} and the players let out a collective groan. Seidel smiles.

The river card is the {J-Hearts}

Still hand-for-hand.
