McCann Puts Rheem to the test
Not long after Chino Rheem had moved all in to put one of his opponents on a tough decision, Rheem found himself in a similar situation but with the roles reversed.
Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading K♥4♥7♥6♠. Jonathan McCann had checked and Chino Rheem had bet 15,000. McCann responded by moving all in for 45,200, putting Rheem, who covered McCann slightly, into the tank.
"If you have the flush I'm drawing dead..." Rheem thought out loud. "I feel like you just have the ace of hearts".
"I don't know what to do" Rheem continued after a minute of thought. "All I have is one pair".
After about four minutes of deliberation, Rheem opted to fold, sliding a nice pot in McCann's direction.
"Pick one" McCann offered his opponent. Rheem took McCann up on his offer, revealing the A♦ in McCann's hand.
"Aces?" Rheem speculated as McCann collected his chips.
