Cheong's Great Call Goes Unrewarded

Chong Wing Cheong
Chong Wing Cheong
Chong Wing Cheong hasn't had the best of luck today. He raised a recent pot to 1,300 preflop before Matt Kay shoved from the small blind for a total of 10,000. Cheong made the call with {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs}, a hand that was ahead of Kay's {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. Unfortunately for Cheong he didn't connect with the board, and Kay did when it came {6-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} to make a king-high straight for Kay. He doubled up to 20,000, sending Cheong back to 17,000 in the process.
