Cheng Chips Up Through Mateo
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Cheng Cheng min-raised to 400,000 and Mehdi Chaoui called from the small blind, as did Christopher Mateo in the big blind. On a flop of Q♠9♥6♦, the action was checked to Cheng and his bet of 500,000 was called only by Mateo.
The J♥ turn was checked and the 3♦ followed on the river. Mateo bet 2,300,000 for two thirds of his stack and was called, tabling the A♠6♣ only. Cheng had the superior pair with J♣10♣ and chipped up nicely.
