Cheong Breaks a Milly; Eliminates Weisner

Andrew Weisner opened to 27,000 from under-the-gun and action folded around to Dan Smith on the button, who called. Joseph Cheong then three-bet to 77,000 from the big blind and, undeterred, Weisner pushed all in. Smith got out of the way and Cheong called to put Weisner at risk.

Weisner: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Cheong: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades} board failed to improve Weisner's hand and he was sent to the rail.

Cheong, on the other hand, is now sitting on 1.2 million in chips.
