Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Erik Seidel opened to 27,000 on the button and Julien Sitbon defended the big blind.
"I just want to be in the chip race," Seidel joked, as the T-1,000 chips were being raced off soon and the dealer gave him three T-1,000 chips as change.
The dealer fanned out the 
flop and Sitbon checked. Seidel bet 25,000 and Sitbon check-raised to 65,000. Seidel called.
The 
landed on the turn and Sitbon bet 130,000. Seidel called.
The 
completed the board and Sitbon moved all in, covering Seidel's 248,000 remaining chips. Seidel quickly called.
Sitbon tabled 
for a flopped set, but Seidel revealed
