"There's Something Wrong with Chino Rheem"

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Johnnie "Vibes" Moreno called PokerNews to his table. "Yo, you have to get this hand." Matthew Hunt had raised to 40,000 from the button. Chino Rheem reraised to 130,000 from the small blind, and Moreno three bet all in to 190,000. Hunt folded, and Rheem called. When the players turned over their cards is when then hilarity ensued.

Moreno: 99
Rheem: 74

"It was only 60,000 more to call," explained Rheem. The 10QKK10 board counterfeited Moreno's nines, and Rheem's seven four improbably split the pot.

The next hand Rheem moved all in from the button, and after everyone folded, he flashed a three. "I want you to write this - 'There's something wrong with Chino Rheem.'"

Then the very next hand he folded pocket kings face up and implored Hunt to show a bluff. Instead Hunt revealed pocket sevens on a board of A7579x for quads. "I thought I got unlucky, but I guess I got lucky thanks to that ace!"
