It's Duke and Seidel in the Finals

[user75032]

With the conclusion of the lengthy Nguyen-Seidel semi-final match, we're ready for the best-of-three finals. Annie Duke will square off against Erik Seidel for $500,000 and the title of champion.

Prior to his run this year, Seidel was 0-5 lifetime in this tournament. Duke also had not been an excellent performer, with a lifetime record of 1-5 and no previous cashes. Now each one is on the cusp of winning a half million dollars.

The set is being re-configured for the finals. We'll probably be ready to go in about thirty minutes.
