Cheong Sliding

Action folded to an unknown player in the hijack and he promptly raised to 450. Joseph Cheong made the call from the cutoff, and the rest of the field got out of the way. When the flop fell {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}, the hijack bet 500, Cheong called, and the dealer turned the {J-Spades}.

This time the hijack check, Cheong bet 900, and the hijack called, bringing about the {10-Spades} river. Once again the hijack check-called a bet, this time 1,725, and Cheong mucked. The hijack revealed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a flush, dropping Cheong to just 4,000.

Kelly Mucks

JP Kelly raised to 500 under the gun and ended up being three-bet to 800 after the player in the cutoff accidentally announced a raise. Kelly made the call and then both players checked the {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. When the {7-Diamonds} hit the turn, Kelly bet 1,200, the cutoff called, and the {10-Diamonds} was put out on the river.

At this point, Kelly checked and the cutoff fired out 3,075. Kelly tanked for a solid four minutes before making the call, only to muck when the cutoff revealed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a full house.

Dorfman Lets It Go

Action folded to Randy Dorfman in the cutoff and he raised to 450, which the player in the small blind three-bet to 1,325. Dorfman thought for a few moments before four-betting the minimum to 2,200, which the small blind called.

After the {3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} was put out on the flop, the small blind check-called a bet of 2,225, leading to the {6-Hearts} turn. This time the small blind decided to lead out with a bet of 4,600, which cause Dorfman to hit the tank. After a couple of minutes, the latter released his hand, preserving his stack of around 20,000.
