Rheem Runs Into a Premium

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Chino Rheem in the small blind who ripped all in for just over 100,000. Mitch Garshofsky looked down at a premium in the big blind and instantly called to put Rheem at risk.

Chino Rheem: A♦J♣ All in
Mitch Garshofsky: K♣K♦

The flop came 9♦8♣7♦ and Rheem picked up a straight draw to go with his lone overcard. The turn was the 3♦ and the river was the 9♣ which bricked out and sent Rheem out of the tournament area.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Javier Zarco raised to 20,000 under the gun and Bin Duan reraised to 47,000 on the button, leaving one chip behind. Zarco took his full allotment of time before calling, and Duan put in his last chip on the J♣7♥7♣ flop. Zarco again took all 30 seconds.

"You have 26 seconds to tell me why you're taking so long," Thomas Boivin asked him. Zarco then explained that he was big blind next hand and would be moved if a player busted at another table. He eventually called and they turned over their cards.

Bin Duan: K♦Q♦ All in
Javier Zarco: A♣6♣

Duan took the lead on the Q♥ turn, while the river came the 7♠ and he doubled up. Boivin then asked the floor to come over.

"It's against the rules. You're impacting the EV of everyone else," Boivin told Zarco. The floor then told Zarco that if he continues to stall, his clock would be shortened.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lucy Lamperouge raised it from the hijack and Michael Rossitto defended from the big blind. The flop came A♠K♦8♦ and Rossitto check-called a bet from Lamperouge.

The turn brought the 2♠ and Rossitto checked again. Lamperouge jammed all in as the bigger stack and Rossitto used one of his time banks before flicking in the call for his remaining 169,000 chips.

Michael Rossitto: A♣9♦ All in
Lucy Lamperouge: K♠Q♥

Both players had a pair but it was Rossitto who was out front with the pair of aces. The river was the J♦ and Rossitto held on to double up through Lamperouge.

Evan Sandberg raised to 21,000 in the hijack and Shane Santacroce moved all in for 38,000 on the button. Trond Engedal called in the big blind, while Sandberg also called.

The flop came 6♠2♣2♥ and Engedal bet 50,000, quickly chasing away Sandberg. "Do you have a pair?" Santacroce asked as they went to turn over their cards.

Shane Santacroce: K♥Q♣ All in
Trond Engedal: K♣K♠

"Ah, jeez," Santacroce said as Engedal showed down two kings. The rest of the board ran out 8♥J♥ and Santacroce was sent to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In the last hand before the break, Peter Mugar opened to 16,000 from under the gun and was called by Gal Yifrach in the cutoff and Katherine Porrello in the big blind. The flop came A♦7♥7♣ and the action checked around to the 5♥ on the turn.

Mugar took a stab at the pot with a bet of 40,000 and was only called by Yifrach. The river was the A♣ and Mugar counted out another bet of 45,000. Yifrach quickly flicked in a couple of chips to call and Mugar tabled J♠9♠ for air. Yifrach turned over his J♣J♦ for the winner and collected the pot.

Ryan Riess raised to 16,000 in the hijack and Chino Rheem three-bet to 70,000 in the cutoff. Riess then moved all in for 161,000, and Rheem quickly called.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 18,000 in middle position and Johan Schumacher three-bet to 55,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Lonis who four-bet shoved all in. Schumacher instantly called off his stack of around 330,000 and the cards were on their backs.

Johan Schumacher: A♥K♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: Q♠Q♥

It was a classic coin flip that favored Lonis on the J♣4♦3♦3♠J♠ runout, leaving his pocket queens as the winner. Lonis stacked up another healthy pot to climb into seven figures and Schumacher was forced to the payout desk.
