Cheng Doubles Through Ciccarelli
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
From the cutoff, Christian Cheng said "all in" for his 13,600,000 chips. Jason Johnson on the button folded, but John Ciccarelli in the small blind put all his chips in the middle too.
Christian Cheng: J♦7♦
John Ciccarelli: K♠Q♥
Cheng was lucky because he found a pair of jacks on the flop 10♦2♥J♥. The rail asked for a deuce or a four to secure his win. The 2♣ came on the turn, but it was the 3♠ on the river. Nevertheless, this card still helped Cheng, who doubled up.
