First-Ever Epic Poker League Final Table to Include Erik Seidel, Huck Seed

David "Chino" Rheem has been one of the favorite topics of discussion on the TwoPlusTwo forums as of late.

A number of notable pros, including Ben Lamb, Joseph Cheong, Will Molson and others, have come forward to post stories about how they were allegedly "scammed" by David "Chino" Rheem.

In a thread titled "Chino Rheem SCUM part two (more scams)", Molson told a story about how he was taken for $40k by Rheem. Later in the thread, Joseph Cheong chimed in to say that he was also owed $40,000 by David "Chino" Rheem.

You can read the thread here.

The Rheem story flamed up right before the first-ever Epic Poker League event got underway in Las Vegas. Rheem was one of the participants and ended up making a very deep run in the event.

There are currently six players left in the first-ever EPL heading into the final table. They are:

Hasan Habib, 1,655,000
Jason Mercier, 1,495,000
Chino Rheem, 1,432,000
Erik Seidel, 1,109,000
Gavin Smith, 766,000
Huck Seed, 396,000

All six players are guaranteed a minimum of $107,980 for making it through to the final table, with the eventual winner receiving $1,000,000.
