That's Dirty

Just before the break, David Rheem got away with one. He raised to 1,800 preflop and was called by one player. Rheem checked the {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} flop to his opponent, who bet 3,000. Rheem check-raised to 9,000; his opponent called.

On the {4-Spades} turn, Rheem checked in the dark. The cutoff bet 8,000 and again Rheem called. When the river fell {10-Spades}, Rheem bet 9,500, enough to put his opponent all in. His opponent did make the call with {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}, then slammed the table in frustration when Rheem showed {J-Spades} {2-Spades}.

Rheem is now up to 148,000.
