Rheem Bluffs with the Best Hand, Then Hits River to Finish Opponent
On a heads-up completed board of 7♠8♦5♦4♥5♣, there was close to 50,000 in the middle when Chino Rheem bet the pot to put his opponent all in.
"Man, I don't know if my pair beats your bluff," the player said.
"You have nines?" Rheem asked inquisitively, but the man shook his head no.
After another twenty seconds or so, the player tossed in his cards, admitting he had just an eight.
"Ok good, fold, look, I'll show you this," Rheem said, and flashed Q♠Q♣ to put his opponent's mind at ease as he dragged the pot.
The very next hand, the flop read 4♦7♣J♦ when all of the money got in the middle between the same two players, with Rheem covering by a wide margin.
Opponent: Q♦J♣J♠5♠
Chino Rheem: K♣K♦8♥5♦
"Ok, we got outs," Rheem announced when he realized he was way behind, referencing his gutterball straight draw.
"Alright, you got it," Rheem said when the 7♦ hit the turn to give his opponent a full house, but the river brought in the miracle K♠ to give him the top full house.
"Well, never mind, sorry man," Rheem said apologetically as he scooped in the pot while the player headed to the rail.
