Vogelsang Catchs Cheng's Bluff

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

With just 55,000 in the pot and a completed board reading {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Yat Wai Cheng bet 75,000 into Christoph Vogelsang. Vogelsang went into the tank and eventually made the call stating he had to strong of a hand to do anything but.

Cheng mucked right away and Vogelsang took down the pot without a showdown.
