Seidel Takes an Early Lead

[user108095]

Annie Duke led out for 75,000 on a board of {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

and Erik Seidel took a few seconds before making what looked like a reluctant call.

Both players checked the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

on the river and Seidel showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

to take the pot. Annie said she was open-ended on the turn after mucking her hand.
