Bendinelli Doubles Through Rheem as Cierco Caught in Crossfire
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Before the break, Anthony Cierco moved all in for around 30,000 and Chino Rheem flat-called behind him. Giuliano Bendinelli then three-bet jammed a stack of about 250,000 and Rheem called.
Anthony Cierco: 
Giuliano Bendinelli: 
Chino Rheem: 
The board ran out 
to give Bendinelli a straight to eliminate Cierco and double through Rheem, who was irritated with how the hand played out.
"I wanted him to re-shove," Rheem grumbled. "Back to square one!"
"Of course," said Bendinelli. "If I'm shoving eights, I'm shoving ace-jack and ace-queen."
"Yup," replied Rheem.
