Rheem Binks His Set

Chino Rheem was not happy to be snap-called all in by the player on his left. The size of Rheem's raise had been to 3,925 (with no rebuy lammers left behind) after an opening raise was re-raised all in by a different player to 1,575. Rheem knew his {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was in bad shape and he was right. The short stack had {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, but the player who called Rheem's raise -- and had Rheem covered -- showed down {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

That was no problem for Rheem after an eight-high flop, {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, gave him a set of eights. The turn and river were both face cards, but they were {j-Hearts} and {q-Spades}, not enough to overtake Rheem's set. He now has about 10,000 chips.
