Hand #10 was mistakenly posted with Sang Kim as the victim with cracked queens, but it was Jason Strochak that Mark Seif doubled through. We've corrected the post, and we regret the error.

Eight Ball!
Level 30: 60,000-120,000, 10,000 ante
After pushing all in before the flop with pocket eights, Mark Seif escapes elimination by catching an eight on the flop. Seif is trying to best his previous two WPT final table finishes, where he ended his day in 4th place each time. Seif has not had a victory since his break out year in 2005 where he won two bracelets and earned just under $1,000,000.
