Cheong Cracks Aces

Chong Wing Cheong, fresh off his seventh place finish in the APT Macau Main Event a week ago, is off to a strong start today but he had to deliver a bad beat to do so. He got all in preflop against one opponent. Cheong turned over an excellent starting hand, {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, but his opponent had a better starting hand with {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. The board ran out {6-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} to make a set of kings for Cheong and send his opponent to the rail. Cheong now has 54,000.
