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.

Baldwin Coasting

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player on the button opened to 3,500 and Eric Baldwin called from the big blind.

Baldwin check-called a 3,500 bet from his opponent on the {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop and then both players checked on the {4-Clubs} turn.

Baldwin led out for 4,000 on the {9-Clubs} river and his opponent quickly folded.

Baldwin has appeared to be consistently near the 100k mark lately without large swings in either direction.

Liebert Gains Ground

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert

A player in early position open-shoved for their last 12,500 and action folded around to Kathy Liebert in the big blind, who counted out her own stack before sliding it into the middle.

Liebert: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Early position player: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"That's a fair fight," a player at the table said.

Fair or no, the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} runout left Liebert best with kings and sevens and she sent her opponent to the rail.

Liebert, who has fired bullets in both Day 1a and 1b, is looking to bag as the day races toward its end.

Shorr Hanging in There

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position opened to 4,000 and action folded to Shannon Shorr in the big blind, who called.

Both players checked on the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and {4-Clubs} turn, however, Shorr led out for 6,500 when the {2-Hearts} came on the river. Shorr's opponent deliberated, but eventually called and Shorr tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of jacks. His opponent mucked and Shorr scooped the pot.

Shorr, who entered just before registration ended, is working with about 37,000 in chips.
