Cheong Chops

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Over on table 368, we picked up the action four-handed into a raised pot on a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Praz Bansi checked from the big blind, as did Hans Winzeler before Joseph Cheong led out for 5,500. Robert Shortway folded from the button, as did Bansi before Winzeler called before the dealer produced the turn of the {A-Clubs}.

Winzeler checked and Cheong opened for 14,500, but Winzeler then check-raised the pot. Cheong called and the cards were tabled:

Cheong: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Winzeler: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

The river was the useless {2-Clubs} and with both players holding the eight-high straight, they took an equal share of the pot.
