Seven-Bet Shove from Rajkumar Against Seidel

This hand ran several minutes into the break...

Brandon Steven raised to 22,000 from middle position and Erik Seidel flat-called in the cutoff seat. Vivek Rajkumar three-bet on the button to 82,000 and the blinds folded back to Steven. He gave it up and then Seidel gave back with a back-raise to 250,000. After some tanking, Rajkumar slid in more chips for a reraise to 550,000.

It was now Seidel's turn to tank and he thought for a bit. After a minute or two, Seidel made it 900,000 to go with a six-bet. Rajkumar wasn;t about to be frazzled and studied intently on the hand. Another two or three minutes passed before Rajkumar moved all in. With a tad over 1.8 million behind, Seidel gave it up and Rajkumar scooped the pot.
