Seidel Doubles Up

Erik Seidel is on his way to breaking his first round jinx.

Seidel, who is 0-5 in his Heads-Up Championship appearances moved all in against defending champion (and 5-0 in the first round) Huck Seed while holding {J-Spades}{9-Spades} on a jack-high flop. Seed called with {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and a flush draw, which didn't connect.

The turn was a blank and the river brought an eight, giving Seidel the winning two pair and control of the match.
