Chino Rheem: Poker's Answer to a Yo-Yo

Sam El Sayed

Sam El Sayed has doubled up through Chino Rheem. Having been watching action elsewhere, we arrived to find Sayed counting down his remaining 268,000 chips to which Rheem was counting out to match.

The board was showing {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Sayed's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} were proudly on display (according to Aubin Cazals, Rheem showed a seven then mucked).
