Chino Rheem Takes Two from Kelly Kim

The two played big back-to-back hands. In the first Rheem raised to 325,000 from late position and Kim called from the big blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and Kim check-called Rheem's 450,000 bet. Both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn, and when Kim bet 500,000 after the {9-Spades} fell on the turn Chino quickly called. His {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} was good and Kim mucked his hand.

Immediately thereafter Craig Marquis raised to 325,000 and after Rheem called Kim did the same from the small blind. The flop came {K-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and after Kim and Marquis checked Rheem bet 325,000. Kim called and Craig folded.

Kim and Rheem checked it down after the {8-Spades} on the turn and {7-Hearts} on the river, and when Chino rolled over {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} Kim's hand again ended up in the muck. He's now up to 6 million while Kim has slipped down to 5.8 million.
