Cheong Floats the Flop to River the Best Hand

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Joseph Cheong opened to 3,500 in early position and the button three-bet to 9,100. Cheong called and the two players saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Cheong checked to his opponent who bet 12,500 and Cheong called.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to the {j-Hearts} on the river. Cheong checked once more and his opponent reluctantly knuckled the table as well. Cheong turned over {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for top pair on the river.

"Nuts!" one player at the table shouted. Indeed it was good enough as Cheong raked in the pot.
