The cards were already flipped and the board run out by the time we got to Table 30. Erik Seidel had {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} in front of him, good for a set on the {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board. That was bad news for his opponent, who held {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

According to players reconstructing the hand afterwards, three people had put in 2,300 each before the flop, and the player with kings bet 3,200. Seidel raised to 7,000, the player with kings reraised to 14,100, and Seidel shipped.

The player with kings lamented Seidel's stack, saying if Seidel had 10,000 more he would have gotten away from the cowboys.
