Seiken's Nines Up Are Good

Three-way to fifth street after all players checked the previous round, Eric Kurtzman decided to lead out. He earned calls from both Nicholas Seiken and Mike Wattel.

Kurtzman checked on sixth and Seiken checked as well. Wattel's board featured three Broadway cards and he bet. Kurtzman and Seiken, however, were both interested in seeing their third hole cards.

The final betting round was checked and Wattel showed a king for a pair. Seiken quickly declared that he had two pair, exposing his hand. Kurtzman sent his cards to the muck and Wattel grabbed his hand, briefly studied it and then released as well.
