Cheong Bites the Dust

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

The flop was {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} as we saw the hijack check to Joseph Cheong. The $100,000 WPT Super High Roller runner-up bet 2,500 from the cutoff and shoved allin when his neighbor raised to 6,600. The hijack snapcalled with his {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the open-ended straight flush draw which had enough equity against Cheong's {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The {J-Spades} on the turn gave the hijack the straight but Cheong was not drawing dead yet. Cheong needed an eight or a king but the river brought none of that: {3-Diamonds}. Cheong exited the tournament area, but only after receiving the beer he had ordered just before his last hand.
