"That's the First Time the Best Hand Won"
Level 17
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Mike "Timex" McDonald opened for 80,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 175,000 by Erik Seidel on the button. The blinds folded and McDonald responded by moving all in. "Alright," Seidel said before dropping in a call.
Seidel: 
McDonald: 
McDonald was a big favorite and solidified his lead when the 
flop paired his king. Seidel picked up a gutshot straight draw to a ten, but he was left wanting as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
"That's the first time the best hand won," Seidel deadpanned after the hand.
