$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 10: 500/1,000 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 243 of 529

On a flop of Kh9h7s, Javier Zarco checked from the big blind and Chino Rheem bet 3,000 from under the gun. Zarco called and the turn was the 8d.

Zarco checked and Rheem stared at Zarco for about a minute before betting 5,500. Zarco moved all in for effectively Rheem’s remaining chips.

“I should’ve checked the turn,” said Rheem.

Rheem spends over a minute in the tank before calling. Rheem showed KdQh and had the best hand against Zarco’s AhTc.

Rheem was at risk and all in for 26,600. He needed to fade a six or a jack to double up and does with the 2h coming on the river.

Chino Rheem – 60,500
Javier Zarco – 6,500
