Cheong on the Rise

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

With roughly 21,000 in the middle, Joseph Cheong acted first on the river of the {2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board. He opted to fire 16,000 from the big blind and Shane Slovick contemplated his decision. He tanked for a while and then let his hand go, allowing Cheong to rake in the pot.

Cheong, who had been down to a half of the starting stack earlier in the day, has been trending up in the recent hours, currently guarding around 82,000.
