Seidel Leads Turn, Binks River

Level 21
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 250,000 from under the gun and Erik Seidel defended in the big blind.
Seidel checked on the 7?5?9? flop and Mateos continued for 350,000. Seidel called. Seidel then led out for 500,000 on the 9? turn and Mateos called.
The J? river completed the board and Seidel sized up to 2,000,000 to bring a quick call from Mateos. Seidel showed 10?8? for a rivered straight and Mateos mucked in defeat as he told the Poker Hall of Famer and music enthusiast he had a nine.
