Scotty Nguyen leaves with $125,000

What started as a quiet hand turned into a big pot and a trip to the final table for Erik Seidel.

Both Nguyen and Seidel checked the flop of {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

, and checked again when the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

hit the turn. The river {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

brought a bet of 100,000 from Scotty and an all-in raise from Seidel.

Scotty thought the hand through for a few seconds before saying, "OK, I call baby," only to find that his {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

was dead against Seidel's full house with the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

.

Nguyen leaves with $125,000 while Seidel will play Annie Duke for the $500,000 first-place prize.
