Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Dylan Weisman limped the button, followed by Steve Zolotow, who did the same. Chino Rheem raised to 1,200,000 from the big blind.
Weisman folded, but Zolotow made the call.

When the 6♥5♥2♣ flop hit the felt, Zolotow used both hands to push his entire stack across the line.

"Take it easy," Rheem laughed, "You can only bet the pot."

The dealer let Rheem know the bet was 2,700,000, and we went into the tank.

After a few moments, Zolotow pleaded, "Please just fold."

After some more back-and-forth banter, Rheem mucked his hand.

Rheem flashed K♥K♦5♣ as he told Zolotow he didn't have another heart with it.

Zolotow tabled 10♣9♠7♥3♥ before scooping the pot.

Rheem continued, "If I knew you didn't have a pair I would have made the call."
