"Lucky Player"

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

In what looked like a four-bet jam preflop, Joseph Cheong was all in with the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} against Greg Merson's {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Merson called Cheong's shove preflop, but was behind and looking for help.

The flop gave Merson the lead with the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair of aces. Cheong fell behind, but picked up a flush draw. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}, and then the river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds}. Cheong finished second best and was sent out the door as Merson moved to 117,000 in chips.

"Lucky player," said Merson, pointing to himself as he raked in the pot.
