It’s such a shame that table five is going to be broken second because the WPT Champion Club members Sam El Sayed and Chino Rheem are going to provide a feast of entertainment if the first hand is anything to go by.
Sam El Sayed raises to 8,500 in early position and Chino Rheem – who was still unloading his chips – stopped momentarily and stared at El Sayed.
"Hi, how are you?" Asked Rheem before calling from the cutoff.
"You look excitable man…calm down," recommended El Sayed.
Flop: [6h] [6d] [3d]
El Sayed checked, Chino Rheem clapped his hands and the dealer burned and turned the turn.
"What? Was that a check?" Asked El Sayed whilst simulating a clap.
Turn: [7s]
El Sayed claps twice, Rheem bets 15,000 and El Sayed calls.
River: [Qs]
El Sayed claps twice and Rheem bets 31,000.
"I have tremendous respect for you," says El Sayed before making the call.
"You’re good…show me your queen…I have ace high," says Rheem.
El Sayed turns over [Ad] [Qc] for top pair and Rheem shows [As] [5s] for ace high.
El Sayed ~ 439,500
Rheem ~ 300,000
