Rheem Running Away With This

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Shortly after eliminating Mihail Erstenyuk, Chino Rheem has added even more to his stack and he is rapidly approaching to 200,000 chip barrier.

This latest hand involved Chistakis Christoforio, who is now on the sidelines. Christoforio opened on the button for an amount we did not see but we saw Rheem's three-bet to 6,000. We also saw Christoforio four-bet to 14,900 and Rheem dwell on what he should do. Rheem decided to call and see a flop.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Rheem checked to his sole opponent, who wasted little time in betting 25,000. Rheem made the call. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Rheem checked once again and then instantly called as Christoforio moved all-in. When the hands were revealed it was easy to see why.

Christoforio: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Rheem: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Top set for Rheem meant Chrisoforio was drawing very thinly indeed. The {7-Spades} was not one of his two outs and he donated his stack to the seemingly unstoppable Rheem.
