Rhee Gives Muthu Warm Welcome

Sathesh Muthu’s tournament has not started the way the Singaporean player would have wanted, with Yo Seb Rhee taking a big bite out of his stack not long after Muthu had taken his seat.

We missed the pre-flop action but caught the betting on the turn on a board reading with over 14,000 in the pot already, just as Muthu fired out a bet of 11,000 from the small blind.

Rhee (button) quickly re-raised, making it 31,000 to go and Muthu hit the think tank. There were just 5 seconds left on the clock before Muthu decided to go for it and moved all-in and was quickly called.

Yo Seb Rhee:

Unfortunately, Muthu found himself drawing dead to Rhee’s flopped flush and the river completed the hand. Muthu took a big hit and dropped to 3,000 while Rhee climbed into the chip lead with a stack of 89,500.
