Cheong Eliminated by Holtzman
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The camera crew rushed by when a short-stacked Joseph Cheong pushed all in from the cutoff for his last 180,000 and was called by Guy Holtzman in the big blind.
Joseph Cheong: 5♦4♦ 
Guy Holtzman: Q♣J♦
The J♠J♣5♠ flop left Cheong needing a miracle to survive as he needed running fives for quads. He had already grabbed up his belongings and was gone by the time the turn showed 9♦ to make the 4♣ river a formality. Holtzman had extended his fist for a bump but was left hanging as Cheong had already reached the ropes of the tournament area on his way out.
