We'll start with Erik Seidel, who played at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino Hollywood in Florida, where the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open series is currently underway.
One of the tournaments was the $10,000 Deepstack NLH, which brought 69 entries and a prizepool of $655,500. Names like Shannon Shorr and Faraz Jaka sat at the final table here. However, it was the legendary Erik Seidel who took a seat in the final heads-up, and here he only had a one-blind advantage over his opponent, so they made a deal together, after which Erik Seidel emerged the winner. He took home the trophy and a $179,953 prize.
