Anderson Takes Chunk From Chueng
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
James Cheung, the overall chip leader pushed the betting from the start, with a preflop raise to 90,000, a 160,000-chip bet on the flop and 175,000 more on the turn.
Bradley Anderson, seated right next to him in the cutoff was with him each step of the way and in short order.
But when the board paired for the second time on the river 5♠10♥7♦5♥10♦, Anderson paused at the huge bet from Cheung that would put him all in.
After much study and some thinking out loud, Anderson said, "I can't fold." And he didn't, risking his last 595,000 chips.
As soon as Anderson made the call, Cheung announced that he had aces in a defeated tone. Anderson flipped over {kckh10s9c], giving him three tens and a pot that put him back in the tournament.
