Erik Seidel Eyes Ninth WSOP Bracelet at GGPoker Super MILLION$ HR Final Table

It was another exciting Sunday in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online with two more champions crowned and hundreds of thousands of prize money awarded.

However, the main story is the star-studded final table in Event #11: $10,000 Super MILLION$ High Roller that includes poker legend Erik Seidel. The eight-time bracelet winner last tasted WSOP glory in 2007 winning his second No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw bracelet. Will Seidel be able to clinch a ninth bracelet when the final table resumes on Monday?

Benitez Leads Star-Studded Final Table in Event #11: $10,000 Super MILLION$ High Roller

One of the highly anticipated high-stakes showdowns of the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events got underway earlier today and promised some of the biggest names in the world of poker. Event #11: $10,000 Super MILLION$ High Roller came with a guarantee of $5 million and that was easily surpassed thanks to 624 total entries, which created a prize pool of $6,052,800.

Not only did the money bubble burst during the long online poker session but the field was eventually whittled down the nine-handed final table. Uruguayan High Roller regular Francisco Benitez claimed the top spot during the final stages of the day and finished atop the leaderboard.

Six players are within ten big blinds and that also includes eight-time WSOP bracelet winner Erik Seidel, who sits in seventh place. However, claiming just one pot would push the old school poker pro ahead of Claas Segebrecht, Shyngis Satubayev, and Isaac Baron meaning it's all to play for.

Plenty of GGPoker ambassadors and streamers were in the mix such as Hristivoje "ALLinPav" Pavlovic, Kevin Martin,
Michiel "Easterdamnz" Van Elsacker, Fedor Holz, Anatoly Filatov, Felipe Ramos, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu was also involved in the action from the get-go and built an above-average stack early on. However, his tournament came to an end soon after the registration had closed after a clash with Mark Radoja. Grospellier was the last ambassador in contention and lost a flip to come up just short of the payouts.

The money bubble burst when South Africa's Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy five-bet jammed more than 25 big blinds with ace-nine into the pocket kings of Michael Addamo.

With 60 places paid, the pace of eliminations was rapid as the tournament quickly reached final three tables with the likes of Davidi Kitai, Kenny Hallaert, Anson Tsang, and Adrian Mateos among the casualties.

With two tables left, it looked as if Michael Addamo would once again dominate the action. However, the Aussie went from big stack to 12th place finisher within a few orbits. Addamo eventually lost a flip with ace-queen suited against the pocket eights of Seidel. From there on, it only took another ten minutes to reach the final table and conclude the action for the night.

Final Table Recap

Czika entered Day 2 in the middle of the pack and entered the final table fourth in chips. As other players like Yang, Mike Watson, and Noam "lamalo21" Garama battled back and forth for the chip lead, Czika stayed in the hunt through several other eliminations and rode a series of double-ups into contention late in final table action.

The turning point came after Czika folded a large pot to Watson and was left with just a handful of big blinds in four-handed play. Czika bounced back with a small double through Yang, before a cooler against Garama saw him jump back into contention. Czika soon eliminated Garama and went into three-handed play as the chip leader.

Czika set his sights on the bracelet right away by calling a big bluff from Watson before eliminating him in third place a few hands later. Heads up play did not last much longer as Czika made a flush to open up a big chip lead on Yang before finally eliminating the second-place finisher with a pair of queens.

Final Table Recap

Jerome started second last on the leaderboard when the final table kicked off as Madanzhiev eliminated the first three players. However, after Jerome doubled through the Bulgarian, it was the Jerome show. He eliminated the last five players himself to claim glory.

Heads-up against Ramos, the Brazilian moved all in with ace-jack, Jerome called with ace-six and both flopped a pair. Ramos had all but won the hand, and the unthinkable landed on the river, having a six spike down to give Jerome three of them and Ramos finished as the runner-up, falling just short of his first bracelet but he did manage to secure his biggest cash to date.
