Losses For Cheong and MacPhee; De Maci Takes The Chip Lead

Here are two pots involving losses for Joseph Cheong and Kevin MacPhee and news that Chris De Maci is the new chip leader with over 160,000 chips.

The pre-flop action had already been completed by the time we reached the table. The flop was showing {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, Joseph Cheong checked from the small blind, David Colin made it 4,100 from under the gun, Ben Lamb folded and Cheong made the call. The turn was {6-Hearts} and both players checked so we saw the {8-Diamonds} on the river. Colin bet 15,000 and Cheong made the fold.

Then on a board of {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} {J-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} Kevin MacPhee led both flop and turn for 2,500 & 5,200 respectively and his opponent called each time. Then on the river {A-Diamonds} MacPhee check-called a 18,500 bet and mucked his hand when he saw {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} for the straight. MacPhee wounded but not deep - he still had 135,000 chips.
