Relentless Cheung Continues to Build

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Matthew Anderson raised to 1,600 under the gun, which Jan-Peter Jachtmann called on the button. James Cheung then three-bet to 5,500 in the big blind, which both Anderson and Jachtmann called.

Cheung continued for 5,800 on a 2J4 flop, which received a fold from Anderson, but a call from Jachtmann.

The turn brought the Q, and Cheung bet the pot. Before the dealer had calculated the bet size, Jachtmann had folded.
