Seidel bet 2,400 from the small blind/button, Held Kolastikov raised to 7,600, and Seidel made the call.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Kolastikov bet 10,500, Seidel raised to 25,000, Kolastikov reraised all in, and Seidel called.

Seidel showed {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for top pair. Kolastikov showed {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for the open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, giving Kolastikov a pair and some more hope. But the river was the {Q-Spades} and Seidel moves on to the next round, continuing his quest for a ninth WSOP bracelet.
