Seidel Starts Off in the Right Direction

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Erik Seidel on Day 1a
Erik Seidel on Day 1a

Erik Seidel is starting off by winning a small pot from his left-hand neighbor James Westenburg. Seidel sat in the small blind and Westenburg in the big blind.

The board was already reading {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} and it looked like Seidel check-called a 1,100 bet from his neighbor. The {7-Hearts} completed the board and Seidel lead out on the river.

Seidel's bet was 3,000 and it didn't take Westenburg long to call. Seidel opened up {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a very long straight and that took the pot down.

May Takes Control With a Three-Bet

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Heidi May came into the day looking for a bit more success than what she found in her Day 1B flight the other day. Things have started well for her after Christopher Coles opened to 1,500 from middle position. May three-bet to 4,500 on the button and the action folded back to Coles who made the call.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Coles checked to May who continued for 3,500. Coles wasted little time before sending his cards to the muck and May dragged in an early pot.
