Sixes Better for Seidel This Time

Erik Seidel doubled with aces to take the lead, but after dropping a few rounds of very expensive blinds, he was down a few chips to Vanessa Selbst. They saw a {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, and Seidel moved all in with {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for top pair. Selbst needed a seven of a king to win with her {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The {6-Clubs} turn improved Seidel to trips and took away kings from Selbst. That was fortunate for Seidel since the river brought the no-longer-useful {k-Diamonds}. Seidel now has a giant lead.
