Rheem's Reaping & Dwan's Dominating

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We've just received word via poker's favorite 140-character social networking site that Chino Rheem is now up to 25,000, but we've found somebody else who's got a stack even bigger.

We caught the action between Tom Dwan and an opponent on a flop that read {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Both players checked, so the dealer flipped up the {6-Hearts} on the turn. Again, his opponent checked, but this time Dwan threw out a bet worth 1,650. After about two minutes of mulling it over, the other player let his hand go.

Dwan is now on a monster stack worth more than 38,500. Small wonder that his tablemates are far too scared to play a pot with him.
