Mark Seif Gets New Life

Mark Seif
Mark Seif
Earlier in the day, Mark Seif was up to 18,000, two levels later and he was down to under 3,000. Now, at the start of Level 5, he surges back up and is at 19,500 thanks to the following hand:

Mark Seif raises from the cut off to 900 and the player in the small blind reraises to 2,750. Seif moves all in for 8,700 and his opponent calls.

Seif: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}

The flop comes {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, giving the small blind the lead with a pair of aces, but the {10-Spades} on the turn makes a set for Seif. The river is the {Q-Hearts} allowing Seif to double up.
