Cheung Suffers Brutal Beat
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Robert Cheung opened from middle position to 10,000. He faced a three-bet from Peter Splettstoesser to 26,000 from the hijack.
Cheung did an inventory before he went all in for 35,500 total. Splettstoesser called, and the cards were on their backs.
Robert Cheung: A♥A♦
Peter Splettstoesser: A♣K♦
The flop was a precarious one for Cheung as it came out K♣10♣J♣, giving Splettstoesser a pair plus a flush draw and chop outs to a straight.
The 2♥ turn was safe for Cheung, but the 7♣ river was a disaster for Cheung as it gave Splettstoesser a flush.
