Rhee Folds Out Burns and Asmolov
Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
Yo Seb Rhee is flexing his big stack and has just won a sizable pot without a showdown. Rhee was the pre-flop aggressor from under-the-gun and while we missed his initial bet size it appeared that a raising war had developed as both Timofey Asmolov (small blind) and Simon Burns (big blind) had 7,200 in chips out on the felt in front of them.
Rhee raised again and bet big, making it 81,300 to go and Asmolov quickly folded. Burns looked sorely tempted but eventually gave it up, flashing pocket queens to the table before folding. Rhee did not show and raked in close to 15,000 all without a flop being dealt.
