Rheem on a Rollercoaster
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
After sending half of his chips to Rudolphk Sawa a couple of hands ago, Rheem just came back from a smoke break and found himself in another tough spot.
There was 116,000 in the pot with the board reading 
and Rheem led out for a pot-sized bet of 116,000. His opponent, Dustin Nelson, shoved all-in for 375,500 which had Rheem covered. Rheem didn't take quite as long to make this decision and made the call, putting his tournament life on the line. Nelson tabled 
and Rheem happily showed 
.
The turn was the 
and the river was the 
, as Rheem's kings held up to win a big pot and leave Nelson with just crumbs.
