Huck Seed wins the Tournament of Champions

Huck Seed wins the Tournament of Champions

On Sunday, the Tournament of Champions continued. 17 remaining Pokerstars were still in the running. Mike Matusow, the chip leader of Day 2, did not get the start he wanted. He crashed soon after Allen Cunningham, who was the first to go.

After that exit it was blow by blow - Scotty Nguyen, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Antonio Esfandiari, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Phil Hellmuth all were eliminated in short time.

In the end it was Huck Seed and Howard Lederer. After about an hour of heads-up play, Seed, the WSOP Main Event winner from 1996, prevailed.

The final hand:

Lederer:
Seed:

No big help for both on the flop: . on the turn gives Seed the flush draw. Lederer, in turn, with the 9 has the open-ended straight-draw. None of it realizes on the river - gives Seed the victory in the WSOP Tournament of Champions.

1 Huck Seed $500,000
2 Howard Lederer $250,000
