Action folded to Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel on the button and he moved all in for right around 80,000. An even shorter-stacked Mike "Timex" McDonald was in the big blind and opted to cal off for approximately 50,000.

McDonald: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Seidel: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

McDonald needed some help, and while he didn't get it on the {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, he did on the {K-Hearts} turn. Unfortunately for him, his lead only lasted one street as the {A-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give Seidel the win.

"Good game, Erik," McDonald offered before taking his leave from the tournament.
