"I Should've Folded"

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

Cary Katz put Chino Rheem in the blender as he moved all in for 155,000 on the board of A105QQ.

Rheem eventually called as Katz showed Q10 for a full house as Rheem was forced to show KQ for the nut flush.

"I just pulled a Foxen on you!" Katz said, possibly referencing a similar hand involving queen-ten and two players with trip queens from a few days ago.

"I should've folded the river," Rheem said glumly.

"You're Scaring the Women in the Man Cave"

Cary Katz started screaming as action heated up in the final minute of the NBA playoff game between the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks and apologized to the other players.

"This is my man cave," said Katz, who has an ongoing bet about who will win the Eastern Conference finals.

"You're scaring the women in the man cave!" said Aram Zobian.

Around the same time, Cherish Andrews opened to 24,000 in the cutoff and called as Brandon Wilson three-bet jammed in the big blind.

Cherish Andrews: KK All in
Brandon Wilson: A4

The flop of 76A put Wilson in front and the runout of 210 confirmed Andrews' elimination.

Elsewhere, Poker Hall of Famer Nick Schulman was eliminated.
