Rheem Makes a Big Laydown

A player in early position raised to 2,100 and Chino Rheem upped the action to 6,600 from the small blind.

When the big blind pushed all in for 32,000, action folded back to Rheem who wasn't happy with the situation. After playing with his chips for awhile, Rheem started fishing for information.

"I have ace-king and I don't know what to do. I'm sure you've got two queens or better," he said. When his opponent remained silent, Rheem finally mucked his hand, leaving him with 95,000.
