Chino Behind the Eight Ball

Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

"All right, good luck guys," Chino Rheem said, standing from his chair. He was all in for 42,700 with {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}, only to see his opponent turn up the one-better {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}.

You may have heard that Chino runs good, though. Such was the case this time as the flop came {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}, drawing no reaction from either player. If anything, there was a little bit of a bummed-out look on Chino's face. The {A-Spades} kept him in the lead with trip eights, and the case {8-Spades} dropped on the river just to rub it in.

Chino apologized, "Sorry, my friend," shaking his head and genuinely frowning. We can't imagine he'll be too upset to squeak into the money here, though, and his new stack of about 90,000 should help facilitate that.

Caught Nik-ing

A daring bluff from Nik Persaud went completely wrong as after a bit of a dwell-up his opponent flat-called Persaud's big river bet at the end of a {7-}{10-}{j-}{k-}{3-} board. Persaud was forced to turn over just {6-}{8-} for absolutely nothing, and his opponent scooped the sizeable pot with {a-}{k-}.

Persaud down to 110,000.

Breaking Things

Another level down, and we're less than 20 players from bursting the money bubble and heading off to the bar.

But for now, it's another fifteen-minute break. Spend it wisely.

Nearly Brown Trousers Time

Jamie Brown had 3-bet preflop against Jack Ellwood and called the latter's 4-bet.

Ellwood fired out 35,000 on the {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} flop which Brown called before Ellwood (who had recently come 5th in the WCOOP Main Event) pushed all-in on the {10-Hearts} turn. Brown tanked for a minute or two before making the call with {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} - this was the worst hand Ellwood could see since he was holding {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Brown's kings held to push him up to 460,000.
