Seiborg Does it Again
Level 22
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Chino Rheem folded the button and Jason Mercier raised to 90,000 from the small blind. Erik Seidel three-bet to 220,000 and after some thought Mercier moved all in. Seidel immediately called putting his own tournament life at risk.
Mercier:
Seidel:
The flop hit Seidel right away when it landed . Brent Hanks asked the dealer for at least something that looked like a five and she delievered. The turn was the drawing a moan from the crowd. However, that didn't quite get Mercier there, nor did the river.
After counting out Seidel's stack, Mercier shipped over 1.2 million, leaving himself with just 665,000. Rheem is still our chip leader with about 3.7 million.
