Rheem Not Dodging Bullets
Level 4
: 100/200, 0 ante
Senh Ung raised to 500 from middle position, Chino Rheem called from the small blind and WSOP.com qualifier Mark Darner called from the big blind. The flop was 
and Rheem led for 700. Darner folded and Ung made the call. The 
fell on the turn and Rheem continued for 1,600 and Ung called. The 
river put a fourth heart out there, but it didn't slow down Rheem, who fired 2,400 and Ung quickly called, turning over 
for the flush; Rheem mucked.
It wasn't the first time Rheem had seen pocket aces from Ung, as he had doubled Ung up just a few hands earlier when they got it all in preflop and Rheem's 
couldn't catch up to the of Ung.
