donpeters

Robert Cheung moved all in for about 120,000 and Nashaat "Tony" Antonias called. Cheung held {A-Spades}

against Antonias' pocket jacks.

The board ran out {7-Clubs}

and that was it for WSOP bracelet winner Robert Cheung. He took home over $20,000 for his efforts.

With Cheung's elimination, the final ten players are taking a quick five-minute break while they redraw for seats to convene at one table. We'll still need to lose one more player until we're at the official final table.
