Rheem and Soverel Check It Down

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sam Soverel opened from under the gun and Chino Rheem defended in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 63K flop, again on the Q turn, and again on the 6 river.

Rheem showed Q10 for a pair of queens, which was good against the 1010 of Soverel.
