Rheem Calls Out Beinner's Card; Vanier Makes a Big Call to Decimate Smith
In a blind versus blind confrontation, Matthew Beinner led out for 55,000 on a board of 4♣K♦3♥9♥ and Cherish Andrews called in the big blind.
The river was the 8♥ and Beinner bet another 220,000. Andrews used up a few of her time banks, but eventually tossed her cards into the muck.
"Six!" Chino Rheem shouted at Beinner.
"Seven-five of hearts!" Chance Kornuth added. Beinner then allowed Rheem to choose one of his cards, and Rheem slammed down the 6♥.
"See, told you," Rheem said.
"You and Chino are the best at that, finessing information," tablemate Frank Brannan said to Kornuth after the hand.
At another table, Mike Vanier was deep in the tank as Dan Smith had raised to 125,000 in the hijack on a board of 8♠7♥6♥7♠4♥ after Vanier bet 22,000 from the big blind. Vanier ended up using four time banks until calling.
Smith showed A♣K♥ for ace-high, while Vanier had 6♣3♠ for two pair to win the pot and leave Smith nursing a short stack.
