Chino Losses A Chunk

Kevin Taylor

We missed the preflop action, but as we came to the table, Chino Rheem was deciding whether to call the all in move of his opponent, Michael Michnik, on a flop of {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} . There was about 10,000 in the pot, and the all in was for 20,000. Rheem cut out the chips for a call, then began talking to himself, saying "I can't beat much..just like 87 or J8." He shuffled his chips, then continued to talk. "I genuinely think you have me, and I think you're going to win. I just can't let it go for some reason." Despite saying that he thought he was beat, he eventually slid in the stack of chips to make the call.

Michnik: {9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}
Rheem: {j-Spades} {9-Hearts}

Rheem was right in that he had been outflopped, but he had counterfeit outs as well as a jack for a better two pair. However, that didn't last long, as the {4-Spades} hit the turn. The river brought the {7-Spades} , and Rheem dropped about 20,000 off of his stack coming back from dinner.
