 $1,500 Razz: "If You Can't Break With the Ones You Want, Break the Ones You're With"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Huck figured he might be able to amass enough chips to survive being blinded off, and that he could run over and play fast on the final table breaks, or possibly in the middle of what looked like long-developing hands.
Huck started the new round up $130,000-63,000, and with the pot-limit dinner break drawing to a close, there was some small chance he could polish off Spadavecchia in time to get back to the table on the other side of the room with a pitiful few chips left.
Huck caught a four on 6th street to John’s queen, bet out, and Spadavecchia was practically forced to call for the size of the pot, despite the apparently hopeless situation.

 Wicked Chops Poker: Huck Seed Doesn't Win Heads Up Championship
And although Huck, the '96 WSOP main event champ and a 9th place finisher in the heads-up tourney last year, didn't win, I have to say I wasn't far off on my prediction.
Huck was one of my three early picks to win it all (along with Barry G and Allen C), and over at Tao of Poker, I commented that Huck was my pick out of the Elite 8 but if Ted Forrest made the final table, it was the latter's to win.
Huck though couldn't get by Chris Ferguson, who I also acknowledged was an insane choice to pick against considering this guy could outplay most pros heads-up with half his brain tied behind his back.

The dangerous Seed was the chip leader, and we lost a short-stacked player #11 over at the other table just a moment later on another turn card.
The flop came Qh-3d-2s, Seed checked, Chan bet 20k, and Seed immediately announced, with a wave of his hand, "I'm all in." Chan thought for about four seconds and said "I call," and all hundred spectators, who had been warned not to stand up in their grandstand seats, stood simultaneously.
