Cheong's Gone
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Joseph Cheong got into a battle of the blinds with Ka Kwan Lau less than a minute into the level, with Cheong all but forced to make an all-in shove with his 20,000 chips from big blind.
Joseph Cheong: K♣6♥
Ka Kwan Lau: Q♣9♦
Lau flopped top pair with an open-ended straight draw, and Cheong had an open-ended to a bigger straight, but the full runout of J♠Q♥10♣3♠4♣ gave Lau the win with queens.
