Seidel Finds Lucky Double

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The first hand back from break, Isaac Haxton opened for 65,000 under the gun plus one. The action folded to Erik Seidel in the big blind and he pushed for 330,000. Haxton called.

Isaac Haxton: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Erik Seidel: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Seidel was on the verge of elimination but that all changed as {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} hit the flop. Seidel was guaranteed the double up after the {A-Diamonds} hit the turn. The {K-Clubs} on the river was there just for good measures.
