Back-to-Back Beats for Rheem

[user108095]

In what players at the table called the craziest hand they'd seen, Chino Rheem bet 18,000 on a board of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

before his opponent check-raised all in for an additional 13,000.

Rheem went fishing for information, asking his opponent if he was drawing dead. "Tell me my 8 is live," Rheem said before finally making the call with {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

for an inside straight draw while his opponent showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for just queen high. Both players paired when the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

hit the river, and Rheem got out-kicked.

On the very next hand, a player in early position moved all in for 32,800 and Rheem called from the button, showing {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

vs. his opponent's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

.

A flop of {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

put Rheem behind, and he couldn't find his three outs when the board finished {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

. After the two hands, Rheem's stack slipped to 138,000.
