Before the hand, a tournament official warned Chino Rheem not to talk on the phone and vape at the table.

"Talking and vaping? That's a round penalty easy. I have a last longer. Actually, keep him here," tablemate Keith Lehr said.

"I'm going to raise now," Rheem said as he opened from under the gun. Jason Mercier called in the big blind and drew three, while Rheem took two.

Mercier then led out with a bet. "Only J draws three and leads," Rheem said as he called. Mercier stood pat and Rheem drew one.

"Your name isn't Jason anymore. It's No. 2," Rheem added.
