Chino Rheem Doubles Through Joe Bishop

Chino Rheem Doubles Again
From under the gun, Joe Bishop raised to 450,000 and Chino Rheem called from the big blind. The flop came {5-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {2-Spades} and when Rheem checked, Bishop bet 1,000,000. Almost instantly, Rheem moved all in for 3.7 million and Bishop got up out of his chair. "OK, who has the overpair," he said, before making the call.

His {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} led Rheem's {K-Spades} {9-Spades} and Bishop walked off the set and sat down in a chair by the rail. The dealer burned and turned the {3-Diamonds}, and as the ESPN cameras focused on his face, Bishop heard the roar from Rheem's supporters as the {K-Hearts} spiked on the river. Joe's head rolled back before he rose from the chair and returned to the table. He's down to 11.3 million while Rheem, who was all in for his tournament life just a short time ago, is up to 12.4 million.
