Rheem Dented

David 'Chino' Rheem opened to 1,500 from under the gun and found a caller before the small blind moved all in for 9,300. Rheem then moved all in, forcing a fold from the player in the middle.

Rheem: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board fell {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Rheem took a hit, down to 55,000 in chips.

A Drink Soon for Saab

"I hope the lady takes your chips," comments Asian Poker Tour CEO Chris Parker in the direction of David Saab.

"In a while," responds Sunshine Samson putting all three into a fit of laughter.

"So when we going drinking together? We haven't done that in ages . . . are you not allowed to drink anymore?" quips Saab.

"Well looking at your chip stack . . . probably very soon," laughs Parker as Saab looks to add to his 9,200-chip stack.

Chris Back Runs Good!

Chris Back is running good today, having hit several slim draws. He did it again after raising preflop with pocket jacks. A player in late position moved all in and Back quickly called. His opponent showed down {A-?} {j-?}, but flopped an ace to take the lead in the hand. That was no problem for Back; he promptly turned the case jack for a set of jacks, then hung on when the river bricked out to send his opponent to the rail.

Back is up to 41,000 in chips.

Ron Kluber Update

Ron Kluber is hanging tough. He's attempting to slog his way through this field and is sitting behind roughly 16,000 chips after a recent four-way limped pot. The flop came down {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {J-Spades}. Kluber, in late position, raised to 3,700 after the small blind led out for 1,200. Everyone else folded.

Pedley Pedels Some Chips In

Pedley can't persuade Kim
Pedley can't persuade Kim
With an all-in and call ahead of him, Michael Pedley called 1,600 out of the big blind and two active players saw the flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Pan Jun Kim led out for 2,400 and Pedley check-called before both players checked the turn of the {8-Diamonds}. The river fell the {K-Hearts} and Pedley threw out a bet of 4,500, putting Kim to a decision that sent him into the tank for several minutes.

Pedley tried as hard as possible to sneak a shove, or at least a call from Kim, but to no avail as Kim eventually passed, with Pedley tabling {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the nuts to scoop the pot and send a player to the rail.

Pedley is now sitting on a healthy 44,000 in chips and seems to enjoy the Asian Poker Tour after final tabling the 2008 Macau Main Event in 9th place.
