Diamond on the River Saves Rheem as he Takes the Lead
Niveau 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Steve Zolotow limped in and called a raise of 750,000 from Chino Rheem.
The dealer spread a flop of J♦10♥9♦, and Zolotow check-raised the bet of 600,000 to 3,500,000. Rheem thought about it for a few moments before jamming his 6,225,000 stack and Zolotow snap-called.
Chino Rheem: A♦Q♦9♠8♣
Steve Zolotow: A♣K♣Q♥8♥
Zolotow had flopped the nut straight and called for a black card as the dealer dropped the 7♠ on the turn to get his wish, but the 8♦ river improved Chino to a flush to score a massive double.
