A pot with 12,000 was up for grabs with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts}, but really it was much more after Chino Rheem bet 8,200 into Ian Searing.

The pot got even bigger when Searing pushed a raising stack forward to force Rheem to a decision for his last 15,000 or so.

"I have aces..." Rheem told the table, agonizing over the decision while standing up with his stack in hand. "I guess I gotta fold though."

Rheem continued the process of trying to figure things out, working the hand through in his head while talking softly out loud.

"Just trying to figure out what I can beat here."

Eventually though, Rheem couldn't resist the pull of pocket aces, and he threw his stack into the middle to call off. His {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} also went sailing through the air, but that was only after Searing revealed the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for a rivered Broadway straight right in the gut.

"Nice hand..." said Rheem before storming away - likely toward the registration desk to fire another $3,500 bullet after his own bullets missed their mark.
