Seidel Scoops; Zappulla Next to Fall
Level 17
: Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
With several players holding severe short stacks, James Obst and Bryce Yockey chipped up with the former earning a full scoop.
Erik Seidel also won a decent pot off John Hennigan when his A?J?5?4? rivered the nuts on the K?Q?4?5?9? board to get one more bet from Hennigan.
The same table then saw the all-in of Paul Zappulla for one full bet only from the cutoff, earning calls from Alan Sternberg and Brad Ruben out of the blinds. Both active players checked to the K?J?2?A?K? river on which Sternberg check-folded to Ruben's bet.
In showdown, Ruben revealed the K?9?8?7? for trips kings and Zappulla was eliminated with the A?Q?5?3?.
