Kerber Takes From Rheem

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a heads up pot of roughly 5,000 on a flop of {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Chino Rheem checked from the big blind and Kelvin Kerber bet 2,600 which was called.

On the {6-Hearts} turn Rheem checked again and Kerber bet 8,000. Rheem made the call. The {5-Spades} completed the board and Rheem checked a third time. Kerber sized to 18,000 and without much thought Rheem tossed in chips for a call.

Kerber rolled over {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for top pair and Rheem tapped the tabled and flashed a king before tossing his cards in the muck. Kerber's stack is one of the biggest in the field.
