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: AA All in
Chino Rheem: AK

Rheem had run into it and couldn't improve as the board ran out 4K99J. 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."
