Cheong Takes the Lead

Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Joseph Cheong and Philippe Boucher have been battling a lot here on Day 2. Just before the last break, the two got involved in a four-bet pot with Boucher having position.

Cheong had opened, Boucher three-bet, Cheong four-bet and Boucher called before the flop came down {J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Cheong checked, and Boucher fired 8,500. Cheong called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, and Cheong checked. Boucher stayed on the gas with a bet of 14,600, which Cheong called.

The river was the {K-Clubs}, and both players checked.

Cheong showed the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} for a rivered set of kings, and Boucher mucked his hand.
