David "Chino" Rheem eliminated in World Series of Poker

David "Chino" Rheem, who learned his poker here in South Florida, busted out at 8:30 EST and finished in seventh place in the World Series of Poker.

He'll take home $1.7 million. He's a former player at the Seminole Casino Hollywood and other spots, as well as a dealer.

You can follow the WSOP hand-by-hand on www.WorldSeriesOfPoker.com. Chino, who started with about 10 million chips, and he went all-in with about 4 million chips and lost.

And it was an ugly beat: He went all-in with Ace-King; Peter Eastgate called from the small blind with Ace-Queen. Guess what hit the board... Ouch.

That said, he doubled up just before from 2.7 million with Ace-King, hitting a King on the turn to beat Ivan Demidov's 9-9.

Chip leader Dennis Phillips slipped from 24 million to about 10 million, but as of 8:30 Sunday night EST, he built it back up to 21 million or so.

The event is being taped to be shown Tuesday night on ESPN.
