Big Double for Seidel
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
After a series of smaller pots, a big clash unfolded over on table two and the stack of Timofey Kuznetsov took a big hit. It was the first major setback for the Russian since his first double up as short stack and Erik Seidel jumped into the lead.
Kuznetsov raised to 10,000 from the button and Seidel made it 30,000 to go in the small blind, which Kuznetsov called. On the 
flop, Seidel continued for 33,000 and Kuznetsov called. The fireworks continued on the 
turn when Seidel checked, Kuznetsov bet 35,000 and then quickly called the shove of Seidel.
Erik Seidel: 
Timofey Kuznetsov: 
The 
on the river gave Seidel a flush and Kuznetsov let out an "ouchhhh" before paying off the 145,500 of Seidel.
