Rheem Wins a Monster with a Single Pair
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Chino Rheem was seen with his camera out, cackling, as the dealer pushed him a pile of chips worth nearly four starting stacks.
"I won with a single pair! I won a monster with a single pair..." Rheem exclaimed while his two opponents were left to suck on their teeth.
According to Rheem, he had flopped the nut flush draw with a pair of tens on a flop of 5♦6♠10♠ against an opponent who flopped the second nut flush draw and another opponent who flopped open-ended with the seven-high flush draw.
When the turn and river peeled the Q♦ and the J♥, Rheem's third pair somehow held for him to scoop a pot worth nearly 200,000.
