Check out the dude’s tournament history. It’s sick.

It was a short day at the
Erik Seidel started and ended the day as chip leader. He’ll be stacked at 3,820,000 when the TV cameras roll.
Seidel is followed by Ted Forrest with 2,347,000.
The raw sexual magnetism continues with Adam Katz in third (2,311,000) and Andrew Barta fourth (1,522,000). Barta you might remember as the man whom Dr. Dre once wrote this lyric for: "I get plenty of ass so call me an astronaut."*

With nine remaining, Erik Seidel is the big stack with 2,472,000. He’s followed by Adam Katz (2,190,000) and Ted Forrest (1,682,000).
