Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chino Rheem opened 175,000 in early position and Leslie Roussell called in the hijack before Steve Zolotow came along in the small blind.

The dealer spread a flop of J♣10♥9♥, and Zolotow check-folded to the bet of 250,000 from Rheem, while Roussell made the call.
