Cheong Fires Three Bullets at Ivey
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Phil Ivey had just taken his seat in the Paris Black section to the direct right of Joseph Cheong, and the two didn't take long before tangling in a pot.
Cheong had three-bet from the cutoff before the flop, before continuing for 3,000 on the 9♣7♥4♠ flop. Ivey called in the hijack and the K♥ fell on the turn.
Cheong then bet 7,000 and Ivey again called. The river was the A♠ and Cheong fired out 15,000. Ivey quickly folded this time and Cheong took the pot.
