Seidel Stays Aggressive
Erik Seidel continues to make aggressive moves as the 90-entrant field in the $10,000 buy-in of Event #1 of the 2019 U.S. Poker Open approaches a final table.
Reigning Open champion Stephen Chidwick found himself in the wrong spot when he raised to 22,000 pre-flop. Eli Berg four-bet the action to 65,000, which folded around to Seidel.
Seidel then moved all-in, forcing Chidwick to throw his hand into the muck with raisers on each side of him. Berg briefly thought about a call but ultimately folded his hand, allowing Seidel to rake in nearly 90,000 chips.
