Ball Calls it Off with Big Slick, Loses to Rheem's Jacks
Level 14
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Robert Peacock opened to 12,000 in late position and then Scott Ball three-bet to 35,000 on the button. Chino Rheem made the call in the big blind and Peacock folded.
The flop came 
and Rheem checked it to his opponent who fired out a large bet of 63,000. Rheem then went for a check-raise jam and had Ball's 126,000 remaining stack well covered.
After a few minutes of deliberations, Ball opted to call but was behind.
Scott Ball: 
Chino Rheem: 
The turn was the 
and the river the 
, neither of which helped Ball, who was eliminated short of the money.
