Melanie Weisner Busts Chino Rheem

Melanie Weisner Busts Chino Rheem Here in Round 3
Melanie Weisner Busts Chino Rheem Here in Round 3

After playing two of the longest matches in the first two rounds, Melanie Weisner just dispatched Chino Rheem in yet another marathon heads-up session.

The crippling hand occurred on a {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} board, when Weisner responded to a check by Rheem with an all-in shove for 29,000.

Rheem tanked for a while before ultimately deciding to release his hand, but he asked Weisner for the courtesy of seeing a single card from her hand. She obliged, allowing Rheem to choose the card, and he turned over the {J-Hearts}. Afterward, he told Wesiner that he folded trip fives, thinking she had made a straight.

Soon after this fold, Rheem was all-in with {K-}{10-} against Wesiner's {A-}{7-}, and the ace-high held up to send her into the Round of 32.

The two friends began the match with Rheem telling a late arriving Weisner that her stack was being blinded off, and when the chips were stacked in Weisner's corner she couldn't resist the chance to get a needle in of her own.

"Is that 2-for-2 or 3-for-3 against you heads up?" she asked, with a mischievous smile spreading across her face.

"I think that's 80-for-80," he answered quickly, showing that every poker player remembers the losses more than the wins.
