![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Erik Seidel had Chris Moneymaker at a 2-1 disadvantage as they saw a 
flop. Moneymaker risked the rest of his chips holding 
for an open-ended straight draw. Seidel's 
gave him top pair and the lead in the hand. The 
was no help for Moneymaker, and the 
river improved Seidel to trip jacks.
With that, Seidel won the first match to take a 1-0 lead against Moneymaker. They'll be back in 15 minutes for match #2.
