The River Check-Raise (Part II)
Level 3
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Joseph Cheong raised it to 2,400 under-the-gun and Rachid Ben Cherif in the small blind was the only caller. Both players checked the 
flop and Ben Cherif checked again on the 
on the turn. Cheong made it 3,500 and Ben Cherif made the call. The river brought the 
to the table and Ben Cherif checked. Cheong bet out 8,500 and was soon faced by a raise. Ben Cherif made it 27,700 and Cheong thought about it for a little while. He then threw in three 25,000 chips, making it 83,500 total. Ben Cherif thought about it for a minute or so, and then decided to call. Cheong showed his 
and that was enough to make Ben Cherif muck his hand.
