Seth Spikes a Double

After winning a pot from Andrew Brown, Steven Silverman raised to 30,000 from the small blind. Andy Seth defended his big blind, and the flop fell {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Silverman bet the pot (60,000), and Seth moved all in for 160,000 or so. Silverman called.

Silverman{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Seth{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The {2-Spades} on the turn changed nothing, but the {10-Spades} on the river gave Seth trip tens, doubling him to over 300,000 chips.
