Rheem Check-Pot's the Flop

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Leslie Roussell opened 145,000 in the cutoff and both Dylan Weisman on the button and Chino Rheem in the big blind made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 10?7?6?, and Rheem checked to Roussell who fired 200,000. Weisman got out of the way before Rheem announced a pot-sized raise of 1,125,000.

Rousell went in the tank asking, "Why are you trying to send me home Rheem?"

After about 30 seconds, he pitched his cards into the muck.
