Cheong Binks Flush to Double

Alexander Kuzmin opened for 3,500 from under-the-gun and action folded around to Michael Fosco in the hijack, who made the call. Directly behind him in the cutoff, Joseph Cheong went all in for 44,900. It was folded back around to Kuzmin, who called. Fosco got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Cheong: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Kuzmin: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts} board left Cheong with a flush draw. The {Q-Spades} turn missed for Cheong, however, the {5-Hearts} river gave him the winning flush and he doubled through (and then some) to 100,000.
