Cheong in the Black

Joseph Cheong is in profit despite just losing a pot.

He was in the small blind and we caught up with the hand when he drew one the second time and then check-called a 400 bet. His opponent had stood pat and did the same as Cheong drew one more. Both players checked the third round of betting and Cheong said, "King". His opponent opened {8-}{4-}{5-}{7-}{9-} and Cheong's cards hit the muck.

Ashby opened {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}. Binger stared at his holding but the cards didn't change, and he mucked.
