Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

The hand was picked up when Joseph Cheong raised to 1,600 from under the gun and he received a total of five callers.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and the small blind led out with a bet of 3,000. Only Cheong made the call to see the {4-Clubs} turn.

Again the small blind bet, this time 3,000, and Cheong again made a smooth call.

The river was {8-Spades} and the small blind checked.

Cheong went all in for his remaining 19,400 and was quickly called by the small blind. Cheong showed {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the full house and his opponent mucked the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Scott Ball
Scott Ball

WSOP bracelet winner Scott Ball was involved in a hand in which the flop read {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} and the under-the-gun player bet 3,800. A player in early position called and the button mucked.

Ball was in the small blind and checked-raised to 15,400. The original bettor folded and the early-position player called.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and Ball bet 12,500. The early-position player went into the tank before mucking and Ball took it down showing just the {4-Diamonds} face up.

Buckner Turns Quads

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Steven Buckner
Steven Buckner

Steven Buckner open to 2,000 from under the gun and a player in middle position called.

The flop was {j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Buckner led out for 4,000 and the middle-position player called.

The turn was the {j-Diamonds}. Buckner led out again for 7,000 and the middle-position player called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and Buckner bet 30,000, nearly putting the middle position all in. After going into the tank, the middle-position player called and was shown the bad news as Buckner flipped over {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for quads.

He raked in the pot and said, "That's how you do it," with a cigar in his mouth.
