Cheong Slips

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Joeseph Cheong was involved in a three-way pot with several thousand already in the middle.

The player in the big blind checked to another player in early position, who fired 5,600 into the middle. Cheong called from the hijack and the big blind then check-raised to 16,200. The initial bettor folded, but Cheong tossed in a call.

Both players checked the {j-Diamonds} turn, but when the {a-Hearts} filled the river, Cheong's opponent bet 24,000. Cheong instantly called and his opponent tabled {10-Spades}{4-Spades} for a flopped full house. Cheong flung his cards into the muck.

Cheong, a WSOP-bracelet holder and with over $14 million in live-career earnings according to thehendonmob.com, is still in decent shape with around 80,000 in chips.
