The Flop
The Turn
The River
OUTCOME
Both players entered the pot for a minimal bet. On the flop Chan bet $40K, Seidel raised $50K, Chan called. On the turn Chan checked, Seidel moved in all his chips, Chan called. On the river Seidel was drawing dead and Chan had won for the second year in a row.
ANALYSIS
Chan flopped a straight and successfully slow-played it on the flop and turn. When Seidel bet all his chips on the turn after Chan checked, Chan had an easy call. This is the famous hand that played such an important part in the seminal poker movie "Rounders."
