Chino's Squeeze

Facing a raise to 600 and two calls in front, David "Chino" Rheem smelled weakness from the small blind, and put on the squeeze play. Rheem slid his last 3,225 chips into the middle and stared down his opponents.

The big blind released and so too did the original raised, but the first caller tanked. Finally he called all-in for his remaining 3,000 chips and the last player called all-in immediately for less. The hands were turned up:

Chino: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Tank-Caller: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Snap-Caller: {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Chino's diagnosis was right, but after both calls he needed to dodge a ton of outs. The {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop was bad news bears for Chino and the last player to call. The turn and river were both sixes though, {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and some how {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} won the pot tripling to near starting stack.

Chino was left with just 225 chips and doubled the next hand, but moments ago he was seen exiting the Pavilion Room.
