Seidel Cracks Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Erik Seidel opened in the hijack, Kelvin Kerber three-bet on the button, and Seidel called.
The dealer fanned out the 
flop and Seidel checked. Kerber bet 3,000, Seidel check-raised to 8,000, and Kerber moved all in for approximately 40,000. Seidel quickly put in the chips.
Kelvin Kerber: 
Erik Seidel: 
Kerber was in rough shape against Seidel's flopped set, and he failed to improve on the 
turn and 
river, forcing him to make his exit from the table with cracked aces.
"When you have aces, you win. When the other guy has aces, you also win!" noted Tom Orpaz.
"It's a good strategy," replied Seidel.
