Robert Cheung Eliminated in 21st Place ($36,220)
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel began the hand with a raise to 4,000 from early position. The table folded to Peter Placey, who opted to go all in for approximately 27,000,000 from the cutoff. Robert Cheung decided to also go all in from the small blind for less than Placey. Kabrhel folded to send Placey and Cheung to a showdown.
Robert Cheung: A♠J♠
Peter Placey: 9♣9♠
Placey had the better hand to start, but the flop gave Cheung plenty of outs as it came 4♠10♠4♦.
The 7♥ turn was a brick, and the Q♥ river elicited a celebratory reaction from Placey as Cheung was eliminated in 20th place. Cheung earned $36,220 for his effort.
