Scott:
Cheong: 
By the time the board had ran out 
it was looking pretty good for Scott as the ace on the turn trumped the king that Cheong hit on the flop. Tablemate Ali Khalil even gave a loud "Boom!" for Scott as the turn card hit the felt.
If only poker were that simple though. The hit the river and gave Cheong two pair to send Scott to the rail.
