"Can't Make That Sh*t Up, Bro"

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With a full board of {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{a-Spades} out there, Henri Schalin checked from the blinds to Chino Rheem in middle position. The latter fired 11,900, only to be countered with a small check-raise from Schalin to 25,000.

Rheem picked up his {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} high enough for several neighbors to see the hand already.

"Ace-jack? Ace-jack no good man. A flush is good, you win with a flush," Rheem perfectly asssesed the situation.

He unhappily flicked in the extra chips a short while later and got shown the bad news by Schalin, who opened up {7-Spades}{3-Spades} for a hidden bottom-pair-turned-backdoor-flush.

Rheem glanced over at the adjacent table, where Noah Boeken was sitting.

"Flop top set, lose against bottom pair. Can't make that sh*t up, bro," he said to his friend.
