Rhee Gets Lucky

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a raise to 1,050 and a call, Yo Yeb Rhee moved all in for his last 6,325 from the small blind. The initial raiser called while the other player folded and Rhee showed {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. His opponent held {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and flopped top pair on {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. However, the magic {J-Spades} on the turn improved Rhee to a straight and he dodged the river with a blank {2-Hearts} to double.

A limp from under the gun was followed by the limp of Duc Nguyen on the button and the small blind called. Kunal Patni, who had recently re-entered, raised to 3,000 and picked up two callers from Nguyen and the small blind. Patni's bet on the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for 6,500 won the pot and Patni bumped his stack.

Nguyen is also on the second bullet and one of the chip leaders.
