Huck Seed Can't Defend

Huck Seed's reign as the National Heads Up Champion has ended.

Seed, who had just 8,200 chips after doubling up Erik Seidel, moved all in preflop with {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Seidel made the easy call with {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and had a small sweat after a flop of {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} gave Seed a chance to catch a gut shot and double up.

Neither the {3-Spades} nor the {5-Hearts} provided Seed with the miracle he needed though and he was eliminated from the tourney while Seidel advanced to the round of 32 for the first time ever in his six appearances at the event.
