Rheem Moving Chips

Another player pushing chips around early is Main Event finalist David "Chino" Rheem. Chino has been involved in a number of pots already, and we find him involved in a hand once again.

With two limpers in front of him, Chino puts in a raise to 350. One of the original limpers calls, and the two men go heads up to a flop of {7-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. The early position player checks, and Chino fires out a bet of 450. His opponent calls.

The turn brings the {A-Spades}. Action is again checked to Chino, and he bets out 1,125. That is enough, as the other player nods knowingly and open-mucks {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}. Rheem pulls in the pot, and has worked his way back up to 8,500.
