Hand #179: Erik Seidel Makes a Great Call to Chop the Pot

Erik Seidel raises to 52,000, and Scarborough calls. The flop comes [Ks8c6c], Scarborough checks, Seidel bets 50,000, and Scarborough calls. The turn card is the [Jc], and both players check.

The river card pairs the board with the [6h], Scarborough bets 130,000, and Seidel thinks for more than a minute before he calls with [Qd4h] for queen high. Scarborough turns over [Qh10d], and neither player’s kicker plays — it’s a chopped pot.

Erik Seidel  –  405,000
Mike Scarborough  –  2,532,000
