Chino Straightened Out

David 'Chino' Rheem on the rail

Catching the action with the board reading {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}, David 'Chino' Rheem had all his chips in the middle as the action was on Theo Tran.

"I know I have the best hand right now . . . but it will suck if you outdraw me" stated Rheem in the directed on a visibly distressed Tran.

With Tran needing to call an additional 3,925 into a pot of roughly 9,000, he would toss a single 5,000-denomination chip into the pot and the cards were tabled.

Rheem: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Tran: {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The turn would change nothing when it dropped the {5-Diamonds}, but when the dealer burned and turned the {7-Diamonds} on the river, Rheem would exit the tournament as Tran climbed to over 25,000 in chips.
