Erik Seidel opened the pot to 30,000 and Jason Dewitt made the call next to speak.

On the flop of {8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades} Seidel checked to see Dewitt fire 30,000. Seidel sat in the tank for around a minute before making the call.

The turn landed the {5-Hearts} and again Seidel checked to Dewitt who fired strongly again; this time for 80,000. Seidel this time took even longer to contemplate his decision before cutting down a stack of chips to signify a call.

When the river fell the {5-Diamonds} Seidel continued his blank stare at the board before tapping the table and passing the action to Dewitt. Dewitt quickly announced all in for a bet of 267,000 to put Seidel to a decision for his tournament life.

Seidel sat there emotionless for nearly three minutes before making the call only to see Dewitt table his {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a full house while Seidel's cards flew into the muck.

With Seidel exiting the stage for his 55th cash, Dewitt soared to 695,000 in chips as we are down to the final six.
