Cheong Makes the Double

When we arrived at Joseph Cheong's table, he was involved in a hand with two opponents and it was already on the turn of a {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades} board. Cheong was on the button and at this point, the first player to act checked. The next player, from the hijack, also checked and it was on to Cheong who bet 1,775. The next player folded his hand and the hijack moved all in, with Cheong having the player covered by a small amount. Cheong splashed out a call and the two players turned their hands over.

Cheong: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Hijack: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The river bricked off with an {8-Clubs} and Cheong picked up that pot which saw him almost double up.
