Kuok Wai Will Cheong

Local player Kuok Wai 'Will' Cheong was looking to add a second deep run to his tournament resume after an impressive showing at last year's APPT Macau Main Event. Unfortunately he couldn't get past Inwook Choi. Choi opened for 12,500, then called after Cheong re-raised all in for a total of 46,500. Cheong tabled {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

and was not happy to see that Choi had taken a flyer with a marginal hand {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. He was even less happy after the board ran out {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

to turn Choi's hand into the nuts.

Cheong is out in 17th place and we are down to two tables. There is no redraw at this point; Table 3 has been broken, with the players at that table filling out the remaining two tables.
