"That's How You Win Poker Tournaments"

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Just before the break, Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel, who finished runner-up in the Super High Roller in Barcelona, got his stack all in preflop holding the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, which of course was out in front of the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} of chip leader Johannes Strassmann.

The {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades} flop kept Seidel firmly in the lead, but a sick twist of fate saw the turn and river run out the {7-Hearts} and {6-Spades} respectively. Strassmann hit a runner-runner straight to send a shellshocked Seidel to the rail.

"That's how you win poker tournaments," someone told Strassmann after the hand.
