A Double Up For Erik Seidel; Josh Arieh The Victim

We have just glided past Table #7 as the dealer was handing Erik Seidel a nice pot. After some discussion with a watching journalist we understand that Seidel and Arieh got all of their money into the pot pre-flop; Arieh raising to 500 and then after four players called, John Juanda made it 3,200 to play. Erik Seidel then made it 6,000, Arieh bumped it up to 22,500, Juanda folded and Seidel called.

Arieh{Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

Board: {8-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades}

Erik Seidel moves up to 50,000 and Arieh is down to 8,000 and change.
