Chino Rheem

Chino Rheem is one of the darlings of the Asian Poker Tour. He and several of the other APT-sponsored players bring to this tour quite the star power. Rheem has had a slow start to the day, however. He played a recent heads-up pot in which he check-called 1,050 chips on the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

flop and check-called another 1,050 on the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

turn. Both Rheem and his opponent checked the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

river.

At showdown, Rheem thought the last aggressor would show first, whereas his opponent thought that Rheem would show first since he was first to act. Rheem said, "I don't love my hand," without showing. His opponent finally opened {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

for top pair. Rheem nodded his head and mucked.
