Bob Whalen - 79th Place
Bob Whalen - 79th Place
In a pot that was raised and reraised preflop, the flop came down {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. Bob Whalen led out for 450,000, David "Chino" Rheem tanked for several minutes before moving all in and Whalen made the call.

Whalen {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Rheem {2-Spades} {7-Spades}

The turn, though, was the {7-Hearts}, making Rheem two pair. The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Whalen was eliminated.

"Living good!" said Rheem as he raked in the pot.

"You know, sometimes when you get your hand caught in the cookie jar, you get a cookie," he chuckled. "Most of the time you get your hand smacked."
