This is why Erik Seidel is the best Tournament poker player in the world

Hand #108: Erik Seidel Doubles Up
Chino Rheem has the button.

Erik Seidel raises to 70,000 and Rheem makes the call. The flop comes AAK and Seidel bets 105,000. Rheem calls and the turn is the 7. Seidel fires 180,000 and Rheem puts in a raise to 405,000 total.

Seidel thinks for a few moments before counting out some chips. Finally, he makes the call and the river comes the 4. Seidel checks and Rheem announces that he is all-in.

Seidel stares at the board for about six minutes before saying "Sorry guys" to his tablemates. He starts to stare down Rheem, which prompts Rheem to pull his hat down over his face.

Finally, he announces call and turns over 75 for two pair. Rheem says "It's good." and Erik Seidel doubles up to 2,683,000.
