2008 Aussie Millions Revisited

[user67765]

Erik Seidel and Alexander Kostritsyn have been going at each other on the felt over the past twenty minutes. First Seidel doubled through Kostritsyn, but in hands since then Kostritsyn has had the better of Seidel.

Kostritsyn made aces-up with a board of ( {A-Diamonds}

)

against Seidel who mucked with {3-Diamonds}

.

A few moments later Kostritsyn forced Seidel out of another hand with a check-raise on 5th street.

Of course this is not the first time these two have battled it out at a major international final table. They went heads up at the 2008 Aussie Millions in January this year. In that contest it was Kostritsyn who came out of top and took down the title, with Seidel finishing runner-up. These two are building quite a rivalry, and at the moment it looks like today's battle may go the same way as the Aussie Millions, unless Seidel can make yet another comeback sometime soon. He is now down to about 200,000 chips.
