Steele Busts Seidel

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Seidel was in the lead for most of the day, but things went south for him quickly. First he doubled his opponent Michael Steele with ace-eight to ace-three pre-flop all in; a three hit the turn. About 10 minutes later, it was all over for Seidel.

Starting with about 29,000 in chips, Seidel limped the button. Steele checked.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Spades} and both players checked.

The {K-Hearts} on the turn paired the board and Steele checked again. Seidel bet 3,000 and Steele announced all in. Seidel thought about it for just a bit before he called.

Steele showed {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Seidel double checked his cards before throwing them face down in the middle of the table, indicating he was drawing dead. The dealer knew enough and did not deal another card, no river was seen.

Seidel out, Steele through to the round of 64.
