Chino Rheem Eliminated in 5th Place ($79,189)

Yori Epskamp

Level 24 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Chino Rheem: K♦6♦ / 5♠J♠3♠7♣ / 5♥
Bryn Kenney: A♥4♠ / K♥8♥10♦Q♥ / 8♣

Down to mere crumbs, Chino Rheem was forced to bring it in with the five of spades. Everyone folded to Bryn Kenney who completed, and Rheem gave it a bit of thought before getting the rest of his stack in.

"You're live," Kenney quipped on sixth street, followed by a "very live" from Rheem. Both players then received their seventh card face down.

"You first," Rheem pointed to Kenney.

"It's a good pair," Kenney said, showing the pair of eights he made.

Rheem carefully squeezed his card and indicated it was a two-sider. It wasn't the four he needed, though, but the five for an inferior pair instead.

"Good game, guys," Rheem said as he left the table.

They are joined by renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.” While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!

He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.

Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
