Erik Seidel opens the action with a raise to 14,000 under the gun and action folds around to Howard Feingold in the small blind. He three-bets to 43,000, and the big blind cold four-bet jams for around 160,000. Seidel folds and Feingold announces a call as soon as it’s his turn to do so.
“Do you have aces?” says the big blind, tabling .
“No, you got me,” responds Feingold as he turns over .
The big blind stays ahead through the flop and turn , finding himself one card away from a double.
“There’s a queen in the deck!” says Feingold. A moment later, the dealer brings the river to improve him to a set and score the knockout.
Feingold hits the table and celebrates as the pot is sent his way: “Howie the kid said there was a queen in the deck!” He then adds an apology to the player, who acknowledges the cooler and makes his way from the tournament area.
Howard Feingold – 730,000 (121 bb)
Erik Seidel – 225,000 (37 bb)
