Cheong Back Above Starting Stack

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

It was a slow start to the day for Joseph Cheong, but he's chipped up to about 34,500 at the beginning of Level 7.

Grayson Ramage opened to 900 in the cutoff and found calls from Benjamin Thomas in the small blind and Joseph Cheong in the big blind.

All three checked the {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. When the {2-Hearts} hit the turn, Thomas checked. Cheong bet 1,175, getting Ramage to fold. Thomas called to see the {5-Clubs} river and check-called another 3,325 from Cheong.

Cheong showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for two pair, besting Thomas' holdings to win the pot.
