Chino Rheem is up to 140,000 after a nice spot of luck. His 
hit the flop much better than Mihail Erstenyuk's 
when the board came 
and he avoided the straightening and setting cards to boost his stack to amongst the leaders.
Shortly after eliminating Mihail Erstenyuk, Chino Rheem has added even more to his stack and he is rapidly approaching to 200,000 chip barrier.
This latest hand involved Chistakis Christoforio, who is now on the sidelines. Christoforio opened on the button for an amount we did not see but we saw Rheem's three-bet to 6,000. We also saw Christoforio four-bet to 14,900 and Rheem dwell on what he should do. Rheem decided to call and see a flop.
The flop fell 
and Rheem checked to his sole opponent, who wasted little time in betting 25,000. Rheem made the call. The turn was the 
and Rheem checked once again and then instantly called as Christoforio moved all-in. When the hands were revealed it was easy to see why.
Christoforio: 
Rheem:
Top set for Rheem meant Chrisoforio was drawing very thinly indeed. The 
was not one of his two outs and he donated his stack to the seemingly unstoppable Rheem.
Nicolas Chouity just put his tournament life on the line after seeing an opening raise and a call in front of him. The former EPT Grand Final champion squeezed all-in for 17,800 in total and neither of his opponents wants to tangle with him.
Michael Mizrachi has dropped back down to 55,000 after he went for it with 
on a 
board against Boris Fragin but the latter was going nowhere with 
and held on during the 
turn and 
river.
Fragin is up to 85,000.

Dominik Nitsche opened to 2,000 UTG and Roman Matveychuk made it 4,500 in the seat next to him. It got passed back around to the young German who counted out a four-bet to 9,500 and pushed it forward, Matveychuk wasted little time in moving all in and Nitsche quickly folded.
We think that battle isn't over yet.

board.
