Seed Losing Steam

With a flop reading {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Huck Seed's opponent bet out 12,100, leaving himself with 25,000 behind. Seed contemplated his next move before saying "Alright, I'll gamble with ya", and tossing in enough chips to put the player all in. He made the call and the cards were turned up:

Seed: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"Ugggh", Seed groaned. "Why could you have had six-EIGHT of hearts?" Seed was behind and in need of an ace or a heart to take control of the hand. Unfortunately for him, the turn and river came {2-Clubs} and {9-Clubs}. Seed doubled up his opponent and fell to about 39,000.
