Chino Rheem has been fairly talkative at his table as he always seems to be in poker events. Just recently, Rheem commented towards Hasan Habib and said, "Hasan Ha-beast." Seems like a solid nickname to us.
In order to correctly balance the tables after Brandon Meyers' elimination, Erik Seidel has been moved off the main feature table to the outer table. He now sits in Seat 2 between Chino Rheem and Hasan Habib.
