Hudon and Rheem Continue to Battle
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Balakrishna Patur opened to 800 from under the gun and was called by Chino Rheem from the hijack. Eliot Hudon made it 3,000 to go from the button and Patur made the call. Rheem then back-jammed for around 40,000.
Hudon, who started the hand with 22,400, called off his stack after several moments of thinking time before Patur folded.
Eliot Hudon: 
Chino Rheem: 
Hudon and Rheem nearly got their stacks in the middle in an earlier hand but Hudon exercised some caution after he said he folded ace-king. Now, the Canadian was a favorite for a double-up.
He increased his chances of winning the hand after making a set on the 
flop and secured the checkmark after the 
came on the turn. The 
river completed the board and Hudon hoovered in the chips.
