Seidel Chipping Up

Erik Seidel raised to 900. The button reraised to 2,300 and then Harold Macdonald made it 7,000 to go. When it got back to Seidel, he made it 13,000. The button folded and then MacDonald went into the tank.

After some time passed and after counting his chip stack, MacDonald made the fold. He said, "My gut told me to call, but I couldn't do it."

Seidel has been able to win pots without showdowns for most of the day and is now up to 40,500.
