Four players saw the flop of and Chino Rheem was first to act. Although Rheem may have forgotten his results as we just talked about, he didn't forget how to bet and fired 6,000. Perica Bukara called while Manig Loeser and Dave Colclough folded.
The turn brought the and Rheem checked. Bukara fired 15,500 and Rheem called after asked how much Bukara had left. Bukara had about 27,000 behind going to the river, which produced the . Rheem fired all in and Bukara mucked his hand. Rheem showed just the and moved to 208,000. From what we see around the room, that looks to be the largest stack right now.
Chino Rheem just looked at Dave Colclough and said, "Dave, I don't know if you remember this or not, but this first tournament I ever one, I beat you. It was a €300 buy-in side event in Monte Carlo the first year they had the EPT in Monte Carlo and it was a rebuy event."
Colclough looked at him and said he didn't remember ever coming in second place in a tournament in Monte Carlo, which led us to do some digging.
We found the tournament Rheem spoke of. Here were the results we found:
1st: 'Burnley' John Falconer - €24,140
2nd: Michael Westerlund - €12,050
3rd: David 'Chino' Rheem - €7,610
4th: Chuc Hoang - €5,700
5th: Kristian Hansen - €4,120
6th: Stefan Reitersberger - €3,170
7th: Robert Ford - €2,530
8th: Dave Colclough - €2,220
9th: Mrs. Goldman - €1,900
We checked with a reputable source, but there is a chance the results may be wrong. We also know there's a chance Rheem may have had too many glasses of wine at dinner. Rheem also may be playing some mind games with Colclough. Anyway, it makes for good table talk.
Dominik Nitsche just made back those lost chips after busting an opponent.
We caught the hands and board as the dealer was collecting the cards, with Nitsche's bested his opponent's on the board and Nitsche now sits with about 130,000.
Andreas Krause raised to 3,500 from the cutoff seat and Antoine Abou Khalil called from the button. Mustafa Meryumoglu called from the small blind and then Dominik Nitsche squeezed in a reraise from the big blind to 12,800. Krause raised again to 36,000 and everyone folded, including Nitsche. Krause showed the and is up to 150,000 in chips.
Since players have busted out faster than the tournament staff expected, we had a feeling eight levels might not be played today. Just as the players returned from break, the tournament director got on the microphone and polled the players, asking for a show of hands, whether players would want to play eight or seven levels.
