Two hands after the Jason Koon ace-king fold, the short-stacked Erik Seidel was in the big blind, facing a button-raise from Dietrich Fast. Seidel gave it a bit of a look but eventually surrendered his cards into the muck, leaving himself with around 20,000 chips.

“Good fold, Erik,” Koon said with a laugh. “One of us is going to punt.”

A couple hands thereafter, Seidel put his last 12,000 into the middle preflop from early position, Koon called on the button, and Fast called the remainder from the big blind.

The board ran out , with the two live players checking through the turn. Fast bet 20,000 on the river, Koon quickly folded, and Fast showed for top pair.

“I only looked at the Queen of Spades,” Seidel said. “So I have a sweat.” He flipped over the while he squeezed the other card. It was the useless , though, not enough to keep Seidel in the game. He was eliminated on the bubble in sixth place, leaving the other five in the money.
