Seidel Falls To Mezei
David Benyamine raised to 5,000 from under the gun, and David Mezei called in middle position, as did the cutoff. Erik Seidel three-bet to 10,000 in the big blind, leaving himself 12,400 behind. Benyamine called, and Mezei potted it to 46,200. The cutoff folded, Seidel committed his remaining chips, and Benyamine called as well.
Benyamine checked the 
flop, then folded to a bet of 24,000 from Mezei.
Erik Seidel: 
David Mezei: 
Mezei's aces and the nut flush draw were well ahead of Seidel's kings, and the 
turn and 
river kept Mezei in front.
"It's a good thing this isn't a re-entry tournament!" Mezei said to Seidel, referencing when Mezei eliminated Seidel from the $25,000 PLO High-Roller and Seidel re-entered and came back to finish in sixth-place for $264,186.
