Oh ok, I thought that when somebody went "all in" that they lose everything. What did Erik do to keep some of his chips?

Only the person All in can be knocked out. If they win, the other player has to give them the number of chips they had.

Erik had 1400 chips, TB had 240 chips....Erik all in and loses, so TB wins 240.
Erik now on 1400-240=1160
Bloom on 240+240=480
(not sure of the exact count though, this is an example)

Sorry - poker speak does sound very geeky!
Despite his past successes, Tony is a bit out of his depth against an 8 times bracelet winning legend of poker. But heads up, anything can happen. It generally takes both people to have a hand to end it. The Lizard is a very tight player so he is better being Heads Up against Seidel then Annette Oberstad as she is very aggressive.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Because Erik went "all in" and lost, he only gave Tony the same amount of chips that Tony bet with, whereas if Erik won, Tony would be out.
What would happen in that situation if Tony had gone "all in" and won? Same situation as above or does he get all of Erik's chips?
And what happens if they both went "all in"?
Apologies for the questions, but I've watched quite a bit of poker on TV over here and find it quite interesting, but I'm still not au fait with the rules.
Aah, just seen Mackenzie's explanation which pretty much sums it up.

1680 eric, 720 tony, 30/60k blinds...
Short break. Tony is just over the 10BB Harrington limit so he still has some leeway to play rather than shove but it is getting towards a shovefest.

Although Seidel may have said all in, he was basically putting Bloom all in as he had mroe chips. If both players go "All In", only the player with the least chips is actually all in as the other player only has to match their stack and will therefore have chips left over.
Edit - this makes more sense if there are 3 or more players left. Say Erik has 500 chips, Fred has 700 chips and Tony has 200 chips. If Erik goes first and says All In, he could be called by Fred and then all of Erik's chips would be at risk so he is now all in. If Fred folds and Tony calls, Tony is All In and Erik's bet is reduced from 500 to 100 to match Tony. In this scenario, Fred can never be all in as he has more chips than the others.
Hope that makes sense - trying to play and type at the same time. What I am trying to say is that a bet of All In is a bet of however many chips you have left. if the other player can't match you then you ar enot all in and your bet is reduced.
Saying all in when you have more chips than the other player is normally for one of two reasons. Either it is posturing which happens occasionally but mor eoften it just saves the player having to work out how much the other player has. If you want to make sure the other player must risk all his chips but don't want to spend half hour counting his chip stacks, you just say All In.
