Loosli Doubles from the Short Stack
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action was on Erik Seidel in the small blind who slung in a stack of T5,000 chips. Sylvain Loosli was in the big blind with 59,000 chips and used up four time banks waiting for the hand to finish on the other table. Eventually, Loosli made the call to put his tournament life on the line.
Sylvain Loosli: 
Erik Seidel: 
The flop came 
and Loosli took the lead with a pair of kings. The 
on the turn gave Seidel a flush draw but the 
on the river did not help as Loosli doubled up.
