Congratulations to Team Full Tilt's Erik Seidel who claimed his first World Poker Tour championship by winning the Foxwoods Poker Classic.
Seidel entered the final table as the chip leader - a position he would rarely relinquish over nearly 12 hours of intense play. After almost six hours of three-handed play, Seidel flopped trips when his pocket Jacks connected on a board of J-6-3, crippling third-place finisher Andrew Barta who busted on the next hand.
The tournament then ended after just one hand of heads-up play when Seidel's A-J out-flopped Robert Richardson's 9-7 on a board of A-K-9. A final king on the river gave Seidel top two pair and a first prize worth nearly $993,000.
