Seidel Doubles

Erik Seidel raised under the gun to 2,100 and got a call from a late-position player. Both players took a flop and saw the dealer display the {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} on the felt.

Seidel wasted little time in betting the pot. The late-position player called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and Seidel checked this time. His opponent announced that he would put Seidel all in and Seidel called.

Seidel showed 9-9 and his opponent showed 8-8. The river missed Seidel's opponent as the {A-Diamonds} was placed on the table, and Seidel doubled up to over 60,000 chips.
