into Matt Brady. Brady reraised to $20,500. Perhaps Seidel believed Brady was bullying him with the big stack at the table because he decided to reraised all-in for an additional $25,000 or so. Brady instacalled and tabled Q

for top two pair. Seidel was in trouble with 10
8
. The turn and river came J
A
