Berk Exits on Soft Bubble

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Michael Berk open-jammed for 165,000 and it folded to the big blind Chino Rheem, who sat in the tank, before making the call.

Michael Berk: A4 All in
Chino Rheem: J10

It was a fair fight, but Rheem picked up extra outs on the Qx9x4x flop. Berk was left drawing dead once the 8x hit on the turn to give Rheem a straight, and the 6x completed the board as Berk hit the exits on the soft bubble.

Rheem Getting After It

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Justin Saliba opened from the cutoff to 55,000, but when it folded to Chino Rheem in the big blind, he three-bet all in for roughly 550,000. Saliba gave it some thought before showing the A and mucking.

As Rheem scooped the pot he said "I said YOLO, give me that 55,000" and showed K10.
