Three Pair Works

Chris McClung raised preflop, and Erik Seidel called in position, heads up. The dealer spread out {2-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} , and McClung continued out with 26,000. Seidel flatted, and the {7-Hearts} turn was checked through by both men. On the {5-Spades} river, McClung bet again -- 52,000 this time. It was a long while before Seidel made up his mind, scratching his head and staring up at the ceiling before finally talking himself into the call. He splashed the chips into the pot, and McClung tabled {5-Clubs} {6-Spades} for three pair.
