Joseph Cheong opened under the gun for 54,000 and Sunny Jung made it 150,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Cheong made the call.

The flop was {3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Cheong check-called a bet of 180,000. The turn card was the {2-Diamonds} and once again Cheong checked and then faced a bet of 325,000 from Jung.

Cheong went deep in the tank. Close to five minutes ticked by as Cheong decided what to do. His decision in the end was to move all in. Jung checked his hole cards to make sure and called.

Cheong: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Jung: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Cheong would need a king or a jack to survive but the river card was the {q-Clubs} to award Jung a huge pot and eliminate Cheong in seventh place.

Jung Crushing

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Sunny Jung - Covers the Table
Sunny Jung - Covers the Table

Sunny Jung has the entire table covered with his stack at the moment and he is using it to his advantage.

Ami Barer tried limping the small blind and the calling a raise from Jung and when they got to the river of a board reading {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} Barer had bet flop and river and surely thought his {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} would be good but Jung had {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and took another pot. Zuo 'ST' Wang has won a couple of pots by moving all in.

Gabriel Le Jossec tried to win a pot from Jung when he three bet Jung’s 65,000 open to 175,000 but Jung responded with a four-bet to 500,000. Le Jossec tossed his hand away.
