Chino Rheem made another huge fold on the board. There was about 500,000 in the pot and Rheem checked to Mark Reilly who bet 400,000. Rheem was agonised, but eventually folded, calling ace-three in Reilly's hand. Reilly indeed showed .

But Rheem didn't enjoy his double long. He was gone literally the next minute, running into aces again. This time, Reilly found the goods and nothing came to Rheem's rescue. His remained second, and the start-of-day chip leader departed in 15th Place for $15,531.
Meanwhile, Jeff Madsen was eliminated on another table, taking the same price as Rheem after busting in 16th place.
