Fairy Tale River Completes Comeback for Cheung
Sparrow Cheung opened to 350,000 on the button, Hung Sheng Lin three-bet to 1,400,000 from the big blind and Cheung hit the tank. After a couple of minutes Cheung moved all in for 5,550,000 and Lin snap-called, players turned over their hands.
Sparrow Cheung: 
Hung Sheng Lin: 
Cheung was a huge favorite to take down the hand and the crowd started to cheer for the well-known and beloved Cheung. The dealer spread out 
and the whole room went completely silent as Lin took the lead with his pair of aces.
A 
hit the felt on the turn and that left Cheung with only one out on the river or his day would be finished. The dealer burned and turned over the 
, starting an ecstatic cheer from the crowd as everyone started jumping of excitement for Cheung.
Cheung hit the only card that could save him, shipping the massive pot to him and leaving Lin with just 230,000 to his name.
