Seidel Overcomes Kicker Problems
Level 11
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Nursing a short-stack, Eric Seidel moved all in from the cutoff. Next to act, Cliff Josephy moved all in too, before the blinds both got out of the way.
Eric Seidel: K♠7♠ 
Cliff Josephy: K♣10♣
The 3♥4♥A♦ flop didn't improve either player, but the 7♥ turn pushed Seidel into the lead. The river Q♦ was no help to Josephy as Seidel found the full double up.
