Early Shift in Cheung's Favor
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
James Cheung and Frank Brannan began the day with almost the same amount of chips. They went head-to-head early on.
Cheung set the pace, three-betting to 100,000 preflop. Brannan made the call.
The flop hit 7♦7♣A♦, prompting a 50,000-chip bet from Cheung. Brannan again called.
Brannas also threw in 90,000 chips to call on the 2♠ turn. But when the 6♥ rivered, Brannan folded to the tall stack of green (25,000 each) chips Cheung slid forward.
