Cheong More Than Doubles

Level 9 : 300/600, 100 ante

A four-way pot that involved Joseph Cheong had about 15,000 in the middle and a flop reading {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. After a lead-bet and a flat in front of him, Cheong raised all in for 17,600 and the fourth player in the hand shoved over the top forcing the other two players to fold.

Joseph Cheong: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Cheong scooped the sizeable pot.

MacPhee Chops with Big Slick

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

The player on the button opened to 1,100 and would quickly fold after Kevin MacPhee three-bet to 4,000 in the small blind and then the player in the big blind four-bet shoved having both players covered. MacPhee, however, made the call.

Kevin MacPhee: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Both players picked up a backdoor draw with a {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop but the {4-Spades} on the turn squashed that and the {q-Hearts} on the river split the button's initial raise.
