Cheong Shoves

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Joe Tehan raised to 2,600 from early position and then a player in middle position called before Joseph Cheong also called in the cutoff seat. The player in the big blind also called and the flop came down {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Action checked to Tehan and he bet 5,200. The next player folded, Cheong called and the big blind called.

After the {3-Hearts} landed on the turn, action checked all the way to Cheong. He moved all in for 23,200 and both the big blind and Tehan folded.

"One Time for an Old Guy Like Me"

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

Randy Lew raised to 2,600 from middle position and received calls from the player in Seat 8, Joe Hachem in the cutoff, and the player of the button. Four players watched the flop fall {J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and Lew checked. Seat 8 took the opportunity to bet 8,000, which only Hachem called. When the dealer burned and turned the {3-Diamonds}, Seat 8 moved all in for 50,600. Hachem had a stack of about 80,000 so a call would constitute the vast majority of his chips.

He thought long and hard before asking his opponent if he'd show after a fold. "One time for an old guy like me," Hachem pleaded as he tossed his cards in the muck.

"Just because you're Joe Hachem," Seat 8 explained as he tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a flopped set.
