Damn!

When Erik Seidel breaks a streak, he does it right. Coming into this year's NBC National Heads-Up Championship, Seidel had never made it out of the first round. Now, with his elimination of Peter Eastgate in the Elite 8, he moves on to the Semi-Finals.

Eastgate's final hand started after he shoved over Seidel's button raise. Seidel called and showed {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

, putting him ahead of Eastgate's {q-Clubs}

{q-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

.

Eastgate promptly sucked out on the flop, which fell {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

, but Seidel re-sucked on the turn, catching the {k-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

. The

{5-Clubs}

on the river changed nothing and Eastgate leaves the tourney with $75,000.
