Hand #63 - Chino Rheem Doubles Through Ivan Demidov

Chino!
Chino!
Peter Eastgate has the button in Seat 9. Chino Rheem moves all in for his remaining 2,700,000 and Ivan Demidov makes the call.

Rheem {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Demidov {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}

The flop is {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, Demidov's nines still leading. Rheem is looking for an ace or a king to survive... and he hits the {K-Diamonds} on the turn as the room explodes. Every fan in the theatre is on their feet as the dealer burns and turns the river. The {J-Diamonds} falls and Rheem doubles up.

"Chino! Chino! Chino!" chants the crowd as he rakes in the pot. He's now up to 6,450,000.

Chino Rheem has the button in Seat 6. Darus Suharto opens for 1,100,000 from the cutoff, only to be met with a reraise to 3,300,000 from Ivan Demidov in the small blind. Suharto makes the call.

The flop is {K-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Clubs}. Demidov leads out for 3,325,000. Suharto tanks silently for about two minutes before announcing a reraise. Suharto makes it 5 million more to go and Demidov immediately moves all in. Suharto folds less than a minute later and Demidov takes down the monster pot.

Hand #58 - Darus Suharto

Ylon Schwartz has the button in Seat 3. Chino Rheem is the first player in this time, raising to 1 million. Everyone folds around to the big blind, Darus Suharto, who reraises all in for just less than 15 million.

Rheem has just 3.5 million left behind his initial raise so this is effectively a raise by Suharto to 4.5 million. Rheem, who jettisoned his white baseball cap about an hour ago in favor of putting his sweatshirt hood over his head, glances at Suharto a few times and asks him a few soft questions, looking for guidance. Suharto is completely ignoring him. After two minutes, Rheem folds.
