Eric Froehlich Eliminates Huck Seed

After Huck Seed saved his last 3,700 when he was up against a set of jacks at the river he was eliminated just a few hands later by Eric Froehlich. Seed raised under the gun and Froehlich reraised. Seed committed the last of his chips against what Froehlich said was a "big pair"--pocket deuces. Seed had {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} and needed help, and the {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop gave him all sorts of outs. The {7-Diamonds} on the river gave Seed even more outs, and with overcards and flush and straight draws the river was the...{5-Hearts}, missing Seed completely and sending him out of the tournament.

But before Seed left he asked the dealer to flip over three more cards, just to see how close he'd been to hitting his hand. Turns out he wasn't close at all--all three cards the dealer showed wouldn't have helped him improve. And with that Seed got up and left the table.
