Cheong Eliminates McDonald

Mike McDonald Eliminated
Mike McDonald Eliminated

We caught up to Table #423 to hear an "All in" and a "Call" with the board reading {2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Mike McDonald was all in and at risk holding {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Unfortunately for McDonald, Joseph Cheong was holding {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for trip deuces.

The {Q-Spades} dropped down on fourth street and McDonald was drawing thin heading to the river. The river was four-across, but it was the {9-Diamonds}, signaling McDonald that it was his time to head to the exit.

With that elimination, Cheong is now sitting on a stack of 785,000.
