flop and about 50,000 in the pot, Joseph Cheong bet 35,000 in the small blind and Michael Brinkenhoff raised to 70,000 in the big blind. Cheong jammed in his 229,000 stack and Brinkenhoff called.
Joseph Cheong; 
Michael Brinkenhoff: 
Both blinds picked up pocket pairs but it was Cheong ahead with the aces. The 
turn left Cheong just needing to fade a river seven, and the 
completed the board to give him a double early in the day.
