Johns Folds a Set and Rheem Shows Him a Straight
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ian Johns and Chino Rheem were heads-up on the 
board. Johns bet 60,000 into a main pot of about 135,000 and Rheem raised to 125,000.
Johns called and the river was the 
. Johns checked and Rheem slid out a stack of 325,000, covering Johns who had 290,000 behind. Johns went deep into the tank and, after about three minutes he announced "fold."
"Show me what you folded," said Rheem, and Johns turned over 
for bottom set. "I wasn't going to show you this Ian, but you're my friend and you showed a set."
Rheem then turned over his 
for the nut straight, assuring Johns that he indeed made the correct fold.
