Gorey Rivers Value From Cheng

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Ireland's Ronan Gorey has been very active from the start on Day 1a of the PokerStars Championships Bahamas Main Event, and he's just managed to get good value after a fortunate river card.

Pre-flop, Leo Yan Ho Cheng bet 250 from early position and Gorey was the only called from the big blind. The flop of {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} saw Gorey check-call a c-bet of 400. On the turn of {7-Hearts}, both men checked, but the river {J-Diamonds} saw Gorey check-call for 700 more, and Cheng turned over {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} for a rivered set of jacks. It wasn't good enough, as Gorey's {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} had turned the straight and he continues to float above starting stack. Cheng is down to just 25,300 after a poor start.
