David "Chino" Rheem was one of the first to go at this year's World Series of Poker main event following another notable name, Greg Raymer.

David Y. "Chino" Rheem is a 29-year-old professional poker player from Los Angeles, California.  In November 2008, Chino finished in seventh place at the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event, cashing for almost $1.8 million.

In 2008, Gambling911.com's trepid reporter Jenny Woo learned from the Hollywood, Florida police department that there was an arrest warrant out for Rheem related to a trespassing charge, though they later noted there was no intention of going after Rheem during the November final.

Ten years ago in Broward County, Rheem was convicted of dealing in stolen property and burglary, both felonies, as well as larceny and possession of marijuana.
