Rheem Not Dodging Bullets

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Senh Ung raised to 500 from middle position, Chino Rheem called from the small blind and WSOP.com qualifier Mark Darner called from the big blind. The flop was {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Rheem led for 700. Darner folded and Ung made the call. The {6-Hearts} fell on the turn and Rheem continued for 1,600 and Ung called. The {7-Hearts} river put a fourth heart out there, but it didn't slow down Rheem, who fired 2,400 and Ung quickly called, turning over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for the flush; Rheem mucked.

It wasn't the first time Rheem had seen pocket aces from Ung, as he had doubled Ung up just a few hands earlier when they got it all in preflop and Rheem's {a-}{q-} couldn't catch up to the {a-}{a-} of Ung.

Madsen Doubles Through Ausmus

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jeremy Ausmus opened to 425 from the button and Jeff Madsen moved all in for around 3,000. Ausmus quickly called.

Ausmus: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Madsen: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

It was looking good for Ausmus to eliminate Madsen, though Madsen did receive more outs after the {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. The {j-Clubs} turn paired Madsen and the {3-Clubs} river left him good for the double up.
