Nicholas Seiken Finds an Ace on the River to Stay Alive
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Mark Herm had a T$1,000-chip in front of him in late position and Nicholas Seiken raised to 2,100 in the cutoff. Tommy Chen, who just came second in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship, called on the button. The blinds folded and Herm came along.
The flop was 
and Herm checked. Seiken bet 6,000, Chen called, and Herm folded. They went heads up to the 
turn and Seiken went all in for around 3,000. Chen snap-called and was in good position to scoop and eliminate Seiken.

Seiken: 
Chen had the nut low along with a set of sixes for the best high, but the 
river gave Seiken aces full of sixes to chop it up.
