Rhee in the Lead; Polishetty Doubles his Short Stack

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

On the heads-up flop of {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Sam Polishetty got the remainder of his short stack in with the {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and found a single caller with {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Both the {6-Hearts} turn and {Q-Hearts} river changed nothing whatsoever and Polishetty doubled to just shy of the starting stack.

Yo Seb Rhee has far more than that, the player from Japan appears to be the current chip leader. The cutoff raised to 1,500 and Rhee called on the button, as did the small blind. The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the cutoff continued for 2,000, which both opponents called. Afterthe {6-Spades} turn, the action checked to Rhee and hisbet of 6,000 was called by the cutoff only.

Rhee's valuebet of 12,500 on the {K-Clubs} river once again received a call and he turned over {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight to rake in a decent pot.
