Joey Weissman opened in the cutoff and Chino Rheem three-bet to 17,000 on the button. Aram Zobian then four-bet to 35,000 in the small blind as Weissman folded and Rheem five-bet shipped it. Zobian quickly called to be at risk.
Aram Zobian: A♠A♣ 
Chino Rheem: A♦K♠
Rheem had run into it and couldn't improve as the board ran out 4♠K♣9♥9♣J♣. As Zobian collected the pot, Jeremy Becker told Rheem he was impressed that he knew Zobian had a big hand.
"He 36'd me!" said Rheem. "He's not doing that with ace-queen."
