Joseph Cheong: Three Million Dollar Man
Christopher Brammer held the button. It folded around to Joseph Cheong in the hijack who made it 65,000. Sergii Baranov called from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth tagged along from the big.
The trio saw a flop of 
and there were two checks to Cheong. He continued for 65,000 and Baranov got out of the way. The 
turned and both players checked to see the 
hit the river.
Hellmuth checked for a third time and Cheong reached into his stack. Cheong moved forward a bet of 220,000 and after about twenty seconds Hellmuth called.
Cheong wasted no time flipping up 
for a rivered set of fours.
"GOD!" yelped Hellmuth as he shot out of his seat. He showed 
for a pair of tens and the second best hand. By winning this pot Cheong is now over three million in chips.
