Seidel Going Backwards

Erik Seidel opened to 400 from the button only for the small blind to make it a slightly bigger 1,500 to play. Seidel made the call and then called another 1,500 on the {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, before leading out for 2,000 on the {J-Hearts} turn after his opponent checked.

The latter player called and then both players checked the {A-Spades} river, the small blind turned over {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for two pair and Seidel mucked, dropping to around 20,000 as a result.
