Seidel Sucks Out, Salas Re-Sucks

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Damian Salas
Damian Salas

Erik Seidel opened from under the gun and Damian Salas three-bet shoved a stack of 44,000 from the small blind. Seidel called with a bigger stack.

Damian Salas: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Erik Seidel: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"That's a pretty good hand against mine," Seidel said as he revealed his holding.

The flop of {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} didn't change things, but the {8-Spades} on the turn gave Seidel the lead with jacks and eights as those at the table gasped. However, the {a-Spades} on the river was exactly what Salas needed as it gave the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion a flush to stay alive after the roller-coaster runout.
