Chino Gets Reemed

We caught up with the action on a {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} board, where Chino Rheem fired 11,000 into the pot. His lone opponent, Nicholas Lanzi, raised to 30,000. Rheem thought it over a bit and then announced, "Re-raise," and slid 62,000 into the middle. Lanzi made the call.

A {4-Clubs} fell on the river and Rheem immediately said, "I'm all in." Lanzi announced, "Call," for his last 78,000 just as quickly.

"I have ace-high," Rheem said. Lanzi tabled {J-Spades}{Q-Spades} for the queen-high flush.

The hand represented a devastating blow to Rheem's stack, who now sits with just 47,000. Lanzi, however, is now amongst our chip leaders with 270,000.
