Early Double Up for Rheem

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Chino Rheem from Day 4
Chino Rheem from Day 4

Chino Rheem opened-shoved all in from early position. Action folded to Aliaksei Boika who reshoved all in over the top. Everyone folded, bringing the two to a showdown.

Rheem: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Boika: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Rheem pleaded with the dealer to keep the flop clean and she did as it rolled out {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, giving him a bit of a sweat but keeping him in the lead. He remained safe on the {4-Clubs} turn and {3-Clubs} river and that allowed him to double up.

"Yes!" he said, slamming the table. Immediately he stood up and began texting. His all-in was counted out for 467,000 and Boika was forced to cut out the chips and send them over.
