: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alain Hajj has had a great start to proceedings on Day 2 and has just eliminated arguably the best, certainly the most decorated played that was in the field in Chino Rheem.
According to Hajj, who filled PokerNews in on the action after the hand, he opened from early position and Rheem completed from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and Rajj continued when Rheem checked to him, around 25,000. Rheem then moved all in for around 250,000, Rajj called, putting the American at risk.
Chino Rheem:
Alain Hajj:
The turn changed nothing and the river was a bit of overkill as Hajj made quad jacks to send Rheem to the rail.
