One Sick Individual

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

We were walking around and just spotted Joseph Cheong who was playing with a bigger stack. Everyone knows that Cheong is a dangerous individual. As Sam Grafton was saying at the table he is a "sick individual".

The one hand we happened to catch involved Grafton and Cheong. Grafton had bet on a board {q-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. Cheong then put a giant stack of purple and yellows out in front. This was to signify he was putting Grafton all in. Grafton took a minute and then mucked.

As he mucked he pleaded, "Please don't show me a bluff!"

Cheong obliged and gave his hand to the dealer faced down.

Grafton metioned, "I don't pay in high roller events because I don't want to play with people like you! Your a sick individual!" Grafton giving credit where credit is due as the former November Niner knows how to beat his opponent whether the buy in is $100,000 or just $1,500.
