It will take a little time to get through the best-of-three matches, some people haven’t even taken their seats yet to get slowly blinded off, but Chino Rheem now has an early uphill battle after losing his first game.

Rheem was getting short stacked and commented he was happy it was a best-of-three match. He put in all his chips shortly after with Qd8s and Staffan Lind called with the dominating Qs9s.

Rheem had a brief glimpse at a double up after the JhJc8c flop but Lind turned it around on the 9s turn. The river 6s was no help to the three-time WPT winner and he needs to win two straight to advance.
