Croft Clips Seidel's stack

A player in middle position limped in and was raised to 900 by Brandon Croft in the hijack seat. Directly behind *him* was Erik Seidel in the cutoff, who also came along for a three-way pot.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} and both players checked to Seidel, who fired 2,000 into the middle. The original limper folded, but Croft then check-raised all in for 6,575 total. Seidel let out a long sigh and committed calling chips.

Seidel: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the nut flush draw.
Croft: {8-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of eights and an open-ender.

The {J-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river bricked out for Seidel and Croft doubled up.

Seidel is back down to 27,000 in chips.
