Well that was only to call your attention heheh. Erik Seidel took part in the event 43, the $1500 Pot Limit Omaha 8 or better. 720 players registered, creating the prizepool of $982,800. To be honest that's not the kind of tournament that I'm really familiar with, and not really that much interested, so this post will talk the less possible about the tournament.
Well we all know that Seidel is one of the most all rounded poker players out there, playing the different kinds of poker very well. This time he was chasing his 9th bracelet, but it was not possible. Actually, from what I read, he never really had that much of a chance in the final table. He was considered by many, eventual champion Michael Klaser included, the most dangerous player in the table (I "think" they have a point  ), but sadly didn't get many action. Well it's a pity, it would have been nice if he won.
 The winner of this event was german Michael Kläser. He has a good story over the internet. Last year he was the winner of the Full Tilt Poker Million Euro Challenge, defeating thousands of players over the internet. That win gave him the opportunity to play live heads-up against Gus Hansen and Chris Ferguson, and he defeated them both. That marathon earned him $350k euros.
Now he won a very prestigious gold bracelet, defeating one of the most succesful players of all times. Michael Klaser earned $216,249 for his win.

1. Martin Klaser -- $216,249
