Cheong Chips Up

The action folded around to 2010 WSOP Main Event third-place finisher Joseph Cheong who min-raised to 300 from the button; the player in the big blind was the only caller, so they went head-up to the flop of {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

The big blind check-called Cheong's bet of 450 after the flop, then did the same on the turn of the {A-Diamonds} after Cheong opened for 950. However, the big blind check-folded after Cheong fired out 2,000 on the river of the {Q-Spades}.
