Cheung Cracks Queens to Eliminate Opponent

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Robert Cheung put an opponent all in preflop. The player tanked for a little bit and then made the call with the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. He was well ahead of the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} that Cheung held. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and put Cheung in the lead.

"Son of a b*tch!" yelled the player with the queens.

The turn then brought the {A-Clubs} and the river the {7-Diamonds}.

"You've gotta be f***ing kidding me!" exclaimed the player.

Cheung's flopped set of eights were able to crack his opponent's queens and move him to 116,000 in chips.
