Addamo Eliminates Watson and Seidel with Pocket Aces, Soars Over 700,000
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Erik Seidel opened to 6,000 and was called by both Joris Ruijs in the cutoff and Dan Smith on the button. Mike Watson virtually shoved, putting 126,000 of his roughly 145,000 chips into the middle. Tournament chip leader Michael Addamo, from the big blind, moved all in over the top. Seidel also put his 110,000 total into the middle while Ruijs and Smith got out of the way. Watson called for the rest.

Addamo was crushing Watson and Seidel with his pocket aces, which held on the 
board to eliminate the duo while taking his massive stack to new heights.
