An Early Setback for Sparrow Cheung
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Hua Tian Zhou opened to 5,300 from the cutoff and Sparrow Cheung three-bet to 20,000 out of the small blind. Zhou took a few moments to consider his decision before he four-bet to 55,300, sending Cheung into the tank for over a minute. When Cheung saw that the PokerNews live reporting team was on the scene, he said "you're writing this hand?!"
Cheung ultimately mucked, but the highly-accomplished player still has quite a few chips to work with early on Day 2.
