Chang Fails to Make the Pay Jump
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Carlos Chang raised to 16,000 before Chino Rheem reraised to 60,000 on the button. Chang then four-bet to 180,000 and Rheem moved all in.
"I said all in. Let's go," Rheem said as Chang, with around 20,000 behind, began tanking.
"He's waiting for the pay jump. It's at 143. It's impossible," tablemate Giuliano Bendinelli said as the tournament clock showed 148 remaining. Chang eventually called.
Carlos Chang: 
Chino Rheem: 
Chang hit the 
in the window, but it was followed by the 
as Rheem made a set of jacks. The 
on the turn gave Chang some hope of making a straight, but the 
on the river didn't give him the help he needed as Rheem sent him to the rail, short of the pay jump.
