Rheem Eliminated

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Chino Rheem went from table chip leader and one of the bigger stacks in the tournament with almost 200 big blinds to a short stack in a span of about 20-30 minutes.

On Rheem's last hand, Dongwuk Moon raised Rheem��s big blind to 7,000 from the cutoff. Rheem raised pot, which was for most of his chips. Rheem asked Moon to go all in with him, and with Rheem having under 30,000 chips total, Moon obliged. He put Rheem all in and Rheem called.

Chino Rheem: 9?9?7?6? All in
Dongwuk Moon: A?8?5?4?

Rheem was happy that his opponent had only one overcard, and the flop 2?Q?2? still looked good for him.

However, the turn brought the A?, giving Moon a pair of aces and Rheem was all of a sudden drawing very thin. The river was the 10? and Rheem was off to the rail.
