Seidel Spares Duke
Erik Seidel raised to 1,700 from middle position, and Annie Duke moved all in for 17,300. Seidel, who is Duke's good friend, finished runner-up to her in the NBC Heads-Up Challenge this year. He tanked for several tense minutes before giving up his hand. Duke breathed a sigh of relief and scooped the pot, moving up to 19,975. Seidel still has around 64,000.
