Cheong Chips Up With Aggression
Level 31
: 1,250,000/2,500,000, 300,000 ante
Joseph Cheong limp-called a raise to 7 million by Paulius Plausinaitis in a battle of the blinds to then bet the 
river succesfully. Plausinaitis open-jammed the next small blind and "likeboy" quickly ducked out of the way in the big blind.
Cheong min-raised to 5 million in the first hand of the new level and Joni Jouhkimainen made the call. The 
flop was check-called by Jouhkimainen for 3,952,500 and the 
turn was checked by both. On the 
river, Jouhkimainen checked once more and Cheong bet 11,175,100 into 20,655,000.
Jouhkimainen gave it some consideration and eventually folded.
