Rheem Scores an Early Double Up

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Chino Rheem raised in the cutoff to 100. The button folded, and the small blind raised to 350. It came back around to Rheem, who wasted little time with putting the rest of his chips in, 2,400 in total. The small blind tanked for a bit before throwing the chips in for a call.

Rheem: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Small Blind: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The two players were off to the races, but Rheem looked to be in big trouble as the board had run out {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}. However, Rheem spiked the {q-Diamonds} on the turn to make a winning pair of queens. Rheem said "whoops" and cracked a brief smile while collecting the chips to get his stack back up to around 5,000.
