Cary Katz opened to 100,000 from early position and was called by Nick Petrangelo on the button and Erik Seidel in the big blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Seidel checked to Katz who continued for 300,000. Petrangelo folded but Seidel called.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and both players checked to the {j-Diamonds} on the river. Seidel led out for 400,000 and Katz thought about it for a moment and then called. Seidel tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and it proved to be good enough to win the pot.
