Erik Seidel Wins First WPT Title; Takes Down 2008 Foxwoods Poker Classic!

From PokerOwnage.com:
Erik Seidel, one of the most feared tournament poker players in the world - and owner of a handful of WSOP bracelets, can FINALLY add a World Poker Tour title to his impressive resume.
Seidel entered the television final table with a decent chip lead ($3.2m in chips) over heavy favorite and high stakes pro Ted Forrest (who had $2.3m in chips himself), and was hoping to use his stack to push around his other competitors. However, it would be Forrest who would actually be the first to get knocked out, with his pocket Jacks falling to amateur Robert Richardson’s pocket Aces!
Going out soon after that would be Adam Katz and Frank Cieri, who would earn $151k and $200k, respectively, for their hard work. After those eliminations, the WPT would entertain the longest 3-handed battle in the tour’s history.
