Seidel Holds Off Miao

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Erik Seidel limped in under the gun, and Chenxiang Miao raised to 33,000 on the button. The action returned to Seidel, who three-bet to 114,000, and Miao called.

Seidel slid 100,000 into the pot on a 532 flop, and Miao instantly moved all in.

"I guess I'm dead", Seidel said as he called.

Chenxiang Miao: KQ33 All in
Erik Seidel: AA43

As it happened, Seidel wasn't dead; he was actually ahead with his flopped straight.

The Q turn and 9 river completed the board, and Miao, left unimproved, was eliminated.

"I'm sorry about this Erik," said Mather as he stood out of his chair prior to the flop being dealt.
