Chino Rheem and Vladas Tamasauskas Shine at 2023 Poker Masters

Chino Rheem has a couple of PokerGO Tour wins in his career, but now he also etched his name in the Poker Masters annals with a victory in Event #4: $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em. Of 91 hopefuls, Rheem was the last man standing, taking home $218,400.

Daniel Negreanu was heavily spotlighted before the start of the final table broadcast, but he met with an unfortunate early exit. A triple barrel bluff against Jonathan Little was his undoing.

Rheem’s path to victory was rife with critical moments, especially two hands that propelled him to a commanding lead. Chris Brewer and Jonathan Little were both casualties to Rheem’s better hands in the big blind after they both four-bet shoved into him. Rheem’s better hands held, and he entered the heads-up with a 4:1 chip lead.

Despite a one double up from Little, Rheem stood his ground and emerged as the victor, which catapulted him to the 4^th spot in the Poker Masters leaderboard and fight for a coveted Purple Jacket.

Alex Foxen and Daniel Rezaei both met their end, leaving Tamasauskas and Ren Lin to battle for the title. The heads-up play saw Tamasauskas’ calm and calculated moves pay off, securing his second series win.
