There won’t be a repeat victory for Chino Rheem in this WPT Finale.

Rheem lost most of his stack in an ill-fated pot against Walter Treccarichi during the last level, a pot in which Rheem went to war with against Treccarichi’s . It’s not clear when the money went in, but Treccarichi ended up doubling up on the run-out.

Rheem was left with something like 4,000 chips, and he quickly set about trying to nurse that back to health. It looks like he caught a full double-up somewhere in there, and he was able to take down a few more pots that were small but substantial for his stack.

In one of them, Matt King opened to 1,800 under the gun, and Rheem three-bet shoved for 8,700 in the big blind. King gave it a look but ultimately surrendered, and Rheem won the pot with no showdown. King would get his revenge, though.

In Rheem’s final hand, he open-shoved for 15,100 in middle position, and King called to put him at risk.
