Cheung Cut Down

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades} Robert Cheung checked over to Joseph Baldwin who lead out for 12,000.

Cheung started exchanging friendly banter with Baldwin before he put in a min-raise to 24,000; with Baldwin making the call.

The river landed the {9-Spades} and Cheung immediately pushed all in with Baldwin double-fist-pump snap-calling and tabling his {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to take the pot from Cheung's {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

As Cheung slipped to around 23,000, Baldwin climbs to 143,000 in chips.
