Rhee Gets Lucky
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
After a raise to 1,050 and a call, Yo Yeb Rhee moved all in for his last 6,325 from the small blind. The initial raiser called while the other player folded and Rhee showed 
. His opponent held 
and flopped top pair on 
. However, the magic 
on the turn improved Rhee to a straight and he dodged the river with a blank 
to double.
A limp from under the gun was followed by the limp of Duc Nguyen on the button and the small blind called. Kunal Patni, who had recently re-entered, raised to 3,000 and picked up two callers from Nguyen and the small blind. Patni's bet on the 
for 6,500 won the pot and Patni bumped his stack.
Nguyen is also on the second bullet and one of the chip leaders.
