Cheek Finally Has Luck on His Side
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action was picked up with three players with their hands and chips in the middle of the table.
Daniel Spargur: K♦J♣ 
David Cheek: A♥K♠
Michael Holleman: A♦A♣
Both Spargur and Cheek expected the worst when the saw Holleman's aces, but the flop came 8♦K♥K♣ giving both Spargur and Cheek trips, with the latter having the superior kicker. Holleman was looking for a miracle to turn the hand back to his favor.
The runout 4♠Q♦ didn't change anything at all. Spargur, outkicked, left the table while Holleman was left with just 1,000 behind.
Cheek, absolutely surprised with what just happened, said that normally this kind of luck doesn't happen to him at all. He scooped the pot, happy to continue his run.
