In a preflop confrontation Brad Owen was all-in for 132,000 from the hijack, and up against the covering stack of Erik Seidel on the button.
Brad Owen: A♦A♥
Erik Seidel: 10♥10♠
The A♣7♣9♦10♦Q♦ runout gave both players a set, but Owen's aces were best at showdown to secure the double up at Seidel's expense.
