The River is Kind to Rheem

David "Chino" Rheem
David "Chino" Rheem
After Chino Rheem limped from the small blind, Joe Bishop raised to 450,000 and Rheem made the call. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, and after Rheem checked, Bishop bet 1.1 million. Chino made the call, and both players checked the {3-Spades} on the turn. They also checked the {K-Hearts} on the river, and that's when we learned that Rheem's {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} had run down Bishop's {A-Hearts} {5-Spades} on the river. Rheem is now up to 11 million and Bishop is down to 13 million.
