Chino Rheem Crippled, then Doubled, then Eiminated

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Thom Werthmann made it 8,500 from under the gun, and Chino Rheem three bet it to 22,000. It folded back around to Werthmann, and he thought for about 30 seconds before cutting out a four bet of 48,000, and sticking it into the middle. It didn't take Rheem to announce all in, nor did it take long for Werthmann to call to crate a giant pot worth almost 400,000.

Rheem: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Werthmann: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a classic 50-50 coin flip, but it didn't last that way for long, as the flop came {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Rheem was looking for one of the two queens left in the deck, but the ladies never came, as the board completed {2-Diamonds} and {3-Hearts}.

Werthmann doubled up to 375,000 on that hand, while Rheem was knocked down to just 48,000. He did double it up though on the next hand, when his {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} held against the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} of James Anderson. On the very next hand, Rheem raised in the small blind, Amir Lehavot moved all in from the big blind, and Rheem called. Lehavot's {a-Spades}{j-Spades} was dominating the {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Rheem, and the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} to bust the newly crowned WPT Champion.
