Mark Seif Helps Burst the Bubble

Mark Seif and two other players limp into the pot and the big blind raises to 4,800. Only Seif calls.

Then, after a flop of {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, the big blind leads out for 7,500 and Mark Seif raises to 23,000. The big blind moves all in for 7,700 more and Seif is forced to call with {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} for a straight draw with no heart.

His opponent flips over {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and Seif will need to catch a non-heart two or seven.

The turn brings one of those cards in the {2-Diamonds} . The river is the {A-Diamonds} allowing Mark to suck out big time and help burst the bubble.

As Mark said as he was raking in the pot, "Mental illness pays off."

He finishes the night with 80,000.
