Rheem Creams Another One

David Rheem has become a one-man wrecking machine. On a flop of {6-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, P.L. Haslam bet 2,500 and Rheem called. The turn {4-Clubs} must have looked safe to Haslam, who bet 7,500. Rheem raised enough to put Haslam all in (about 30,000 more). Haslam quickly called and tabled {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}. The bad news for him was that Rheem outdrew him on the turn with {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} for an eight-high straight. There was no board pair when the river fell {7-Spades}.

Haslam is out; Rheem has about 178,000.
