Rheem's Roller Coaster

Rheem roller-coaster's his way to the rail
Rheem roller-coaster's his way to the rail
David "Chino" Rheem has been on a roller-coaster ride to finally end with an exit.

After starting the second match with Eddy Sabat and building a 3-to-1 lead, he slowly got chipped away before check-shoving on a {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board. He followed that with moving all in with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} to build back to 3,000.

Rheem then found a double with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against Sabat's {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, with the board running out {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to take over the slight chip lead. "The golden rule in poker baby is don't ever give up!" Rheem said to his girlfriend who was sweating the action.

However Sabat regained the lead when his {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} held against Rheem's {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Rheem flopped a gutshot straight draw but never improved. Down to his last few thousand, Rheem's all-in dark {7-Hearts}{3-Spades} couldn't outdraw Sabat's {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} with the board running out {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

Rheem exited to the rail as Sabat advanced to Round Three to play David Gent.
