The Beauty of Chino
Chino Rheem raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Matthias Eibinger defended his big blind. On the flop, Eibinger checked, Rheem bet 65,000, and Eibinger called. On the turn, Eibinger led out for 85,000 and Rheem called in position.
The river was the and Eibinger checked this time. Rheem decided on a bet of 230,000 and the Austrian called it off. The American showed for a full house and Eibinger had to muck.
"That's the beauty of Chino," Matt Berkey said afterwards. "No matter how hard he tries, he can't f*ck up. He could have a self-destruct button for his life and it wouldn't work."
"This from a guy who's never f*cked up in his life," Rheem laughed.
"If you ever need help wedging that horseshoe deeper in your ass, let me know," Berkey replied.
