Chino Gets Rheem-ed

David "Chino" Rheem - Eliminated
David "Chino" Rheem - Eliminated
David "Chino" Rheem recently found himself on the short stack after being particularly active in the first few rounds. With about 1,600 chips left, he asked Daniel Palsson, "If I go all in blind, will you call me blind?" Palsson agreed, and the two men did as they had planned.

The cards were turned over, and Chino was in good shape with his {6-?} {9-?} against Palsson's {6-?} {4-?}. The board frowned on Rheem though. A {4-?} on the turn paired Palsson, and he eliminated the Main Event finalist from the field.

After dragging in that small pot, Palsson finds himself sitting on 16,000 chips.
