Seidel bet $7,500 on a flop of Q
10
6
into Matt Brady. Brady reraised to $20,500. Perhaps Seidel believed Brady was bullying him with the big stack at the table because he decided to reraised all-in for an additional $25,000 or so. Brady instacalled and tabled Q
10
for top two pair. Seidel was in trouble with 10
8
. The turn and river came J
A
and Erik Seidel was eliminated in 40th for $5,844.
Haber was eliminated by Jason Warner when Warner's pocket Aces held against Haber's Open Ended Straight Draw with J 8 on a 10 9 5 board. Haber was eliminated in 37th place for $5,844.
