Ch-Cheung! Royal Flush for Robert

Kathy Liebert raised in mid position, and Robert Cheung was among three callers.

All four players checked the {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop, and come the {J-Spades} turn it checked to Cheung, who bet 1,700 from the hijack. The gentleman on the cutoff was the only caller.

Come the {J-Diamonds} river Cheung bet out a rather unsubtle 5,650 and his opponent called -- but swiftly mucked, obviously, when Cheung turned over {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} for the prettiest hand in poker.
