Erik Seidel Might Be Good at Poker

With eight left in the NBC Heads-Up Championship we explicitly told you to bet the farm on Erik Seidel.
We hope you took that advice to heart because he took down that event yesterday, adding another line to the ever-growing list of reasons why he might be good at poker.
It wasn't long ago that more often than not a mention of Erik Seidel included a footnote referencing his notorious heads-up loss to Johnny Chan in the 1988 Main Event.
While Chan has still been posting results, and reportedly cleaning up in the high-stakes games of Asia, his recent presence in the poker world has been almost nonexistant compared to Seidel.
With his recent win at the NBC Heads-Up Championship Seidel has taken over the top spot on poker's all-time tournament list.
We know you've got a short attention span so we're going to break down Seidel's record in bullet form, the fastest and most dangerous kind of list in the world.
