Erik Seidel raised to 72,000 from the cutoff seat and Chino Rheem called from the button. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Seidel fired 105,000. Rheem took a few moments and then called to see the {7-Spades} fall on the turn. Seidel fired again, this time making it 180,000. Rheem leaned forward and checked out Seidel's stack. He then took another look at his holecards before studying some more. After another two minutes or so, Rheem announced a raise and made it 405,000 to go.

After the turn raise from Rheem, it was Seidel's turn to go into the tank. He studied for a minute or so and then made the call. The dealer landed the {4-Diamonds} on the end of the board and Seidel checked. Rheem took some time to himself before reaching towards his chips and pulling out a chunk. After shuffling and cutting some of his stack, Rheem announced that he was all in, having Seidel covered. Silence came over the crowd as Seidel sat in the tank for a couple minutes. Rheem's rail was on their feet anxiously awaiting what was happening.

After a couple of minutes, Seidel adjusted himself in his chair and apologized to the table for taking so long. "Sorry guys," he said before studying for a bit more. Seidel had what looked to be approximately 725,000 behind. Finally, Seidel announced a call.

Immediately, Rheem tapped the table and Seidel tabled the {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for two pair, aces and sevens. All Rheem could do was muck and began to count down the chips to send over. Seidel's stack was counted down to 740,000 and Rheem sent it over.

After sending over the chips, Rheem stood up, turned to his rail and said, "If I saw his hand, I'd do it again."
