Cheong Back Out in Front

Just before the break...

We picked up the action on a flop, and Joseph Cheong was betting 265,000 as we walked up. Scott Clements was his heads-up opponent, and "BigRiskky" made the call to continue to fourth street.

It was the , and Cheong fired right out again -- 735,000 chips this time. Clements called again and he faced one final bet of 1.675 million on the river. He tanked as the break clock ticked down, finally splashing in the call with a bit of a reluctant look.

And rightly so. Cheong tabled for the turned straight, and he even managed to get a call after the scary river card.

Clements is down to 7.945 million now, while Cheong re-takes the chip lead at 24.3 million.
