Seidel Races Out Helppi
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Erik Seidel raised to 5,500 in the cutoff and Brian Altman called in the small blind. Juha Helppi then moved all in for 55,000 in the big blind, Seidel shoved forward a tower of chips for a reraise, and Altman folded.
Juha Helppi: A♥J♣ 
Erik Seidel: 10♦10♠
Helppi found himself flipping for his tournament life against the Poker Hall of Famer, but he couldn't connect with the 7♥Q♠2♣8♦K♣ board as Seidel took the pot to send Helppi to the rail.
