Rheem Getting Short
Chino Rheem is the life of the party, talking through each hand and giving commentary on just about everything – to much amusement of the entire table. Especially his neighbor Niall Farrell can’t stop laughing. On the poker side of things, though, things aren’t going too well for Rheem so far.
Just now, he opened to 13,000 from middle position and the cutoff and button called. The big blind squeezed to 50,000 and Rheem, the cutoff, and the button all called.
The flop came [2cJdQd] and the big blind bet another 50,000.
“Cincuenta,” the dealer announced.
Rheem called before the cutoff raised to 150,000.
“Ciento cincuenta,” the dealer announced.
“Oh no! That sounded like way more than cincuenta!” Rheem said as the button was folding and the big blind was calling.
“You lured me in,” Rheem said to the big blind as he called.
The dealer burned and turned the [7h].
“Oh my god, so close!” Rheem said before the big blind decided to check. Rheem too checked. The cutoff bet 300,000 and the big blind called.
“You call?” Rheem said to the big blind. “You’re luring me in! You don’t want to fold the kings huh? Ok, please let me hit,” Rheem continued as he too put in the 300,000.
The [Qh] completed the board and the big blind and Rheem checked. The cutoff bet 300,000 once more.
“You’re shaking your head because you hit the nuts huh,” Rheem said.
The big blind called and Rheem open folded his [9hTh]. The cutoff showed [QsJs] and the big blind open mucked his [AdQc].
“Of course you have the nuts. Everyone knew you had the nuts,” Rheem said laughing. “My mother doesn’t even know how to play poker and she even knew you had the nuts.”
The big blind just shook his head. Rheem, meanwhile, is down to 209,000 in chips.
