Seidel Sizes Up in Battle of the Blinds
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 60,000 ante
From the small blind Erik Seidel raised to 160,000, almost 100,000 more than the usual raise at this level, but Mike Watson was not deterred and called from the big.
Seidel took one card, and Watson two. Seidel then continued for 225,000. Watson tanked for two minutes a call here would commit nearly half his remaining stack.
Eventually he cut out the 225,000 and Seidel showed 10x9x7x6x2x, and Watson mucked.
