Jam-Fly 8 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 read DNs blog about this, but didn't actually realise he didn't play in it himself. Anyone know why he didn't play in it? Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 also, kinda sick, Seidel won over $3mill this year alone at the Aussie Millions. He also came 2nd in the 100k event in '07.He has a pretty good record in both these high roller events and in Australia actually. He came 4th in the PCA 25k high roller event earlier this year. In Australia, he has cashed for about $4.5mil in the last 4 years. This includes a 2.5mil win in the 250k high roller, a 600k 3rd place in the 100k, he won the 10k Omaha event last year for 120k, a million dollars for second place in the ME in 08, and a 2nd place finish in the 100k high rollers for 550k in 07!
