Chino Rheem raised to 11,000 on the button, and from the small blind, Yan Chen raised to 38,000. Rheem called, leaving himself 16,400 behind. Chen stood pat, and Rheem drew one. When Chen checked, Chino checked behind, grunting, "Paired." Chen's {10-} {9-} {6-} {5-} {3-} was good for the pot, moving him up to 152,000, and Chino was in rough shape.

The next hand, Rheem moved all in under the gun for the 15,600 he had left after the ante. Derric Haynie called from the small blind and stood pat. Rheem drew two. He was going to have to beat Haynie's {10-} {7-} {6-} {4-} {3-} . Chino started with a {4-} {3-} {2-} , and the first card he flipped, a {9-} , kept the sweat going. But his second card was a {k-} , ending Rheem's roller coaster of a day.
