Seed 1, Rousso 0: Seed Takes the Upper Hand

Huck Seed takes command of the final.
Huck Seed takes command of the final.
Without many showdowns, Huck Seed had slowly increased his chip lead over Vanessa Rousso to more than 3-to-1. With blinds at 15,000 and 30,000, Rousso didn't have many weapons in her arsenal. Two buttons in a row, she moved all in preflop for 280,000. The first time Seed folded, but the second time he tanked for 90 seconds before calling with {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. It was a great call, as Seed had Rousso's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} dominated. The board rolled out {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}, giving Seed the pot and the win in the first match.

The tournament is on a fifteen-minute break before the second match in this best-of-three final kicks off.
