Rheem Gets Off Cheap

Chino Rheem could have lost a lot more when he flat called a preflop raise of 5,300 from middle position, and got min-raised to 10,000 by the cutoff.

Rheem made that call after the original raiser folded and both players checked down a board that came {6-?} {8-?} {J-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} .

Rheem showed pocket nines, but lost the pot to his opponent's pocket aces. Rheem still has 140,000.
