Seidel's Check-Raise Wins Three-Way Affair
Level 18
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jason Mercier raised to 32,000 from the hijack seat before play folded around to Erik Seidel in the small blind. He called, as did Chino Rheem from the big blind. Mercier had position on the hand.
The flop came down with Seidel and Rheem checking to the preflop raiser. Mercier fired 39,000 and Seidel check-raised to 110,000. Rheem didn't fold right away. He studied for a little bit, but gave it up in the end. Mercier also folded and Seidel won the pot.
