Cheong Doubles Again

One orbit later Joseph Cheong moved all in again, this time for 86,000 and Benny Spindler once again made the call.

Cheong: {Q-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}
Spindler: {A-Hearts} {2-Spades}

Spindler's ace was in front before the flop, but it all changed as the dealer opened {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} giving Cheong a flush and pushing Spindler far behind. The {6-Spades} on the turn and the {K-Diamonds} on the river only made Cheong's hand even stronger and gave him another double up.

Double Up for Cheong

Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Just one hand later after he's been crippled by Joel Nordkvist, Joseph Cheong shoved his stack of 32,000 from under the gun pre-flop and was called by Benny Spindler in the big blind.

Cheong: {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}
Spindler: {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds}

Cheong was ready to leave the table after he saw an ace in Spindler's hand, but the {9-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} flop made him get back to his seat. The {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {K-Spades} on the river made no difference and Cheong's fives were good enough for a double up.

Joel Nordkvist
Joel Nordkvist

Joel Nordkvist shoved all in for 280,000 from the big blind before the flop and Joseph Cheong made the call in the small blind.

Nordkvist: {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades}
Cheong: {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}

Nordkvist's ace put him in the lead and the {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {K-Spades} on the flop gave him a higher pair. The {A-Clubs} on the turn made it trip aces for Nordkvist while the {K-Hearts} on the river also give trips for Cheong, but aces beat kings and Nordkvist doubled leaving his opponent crippled to just 35,000 chips.

More for Spindler

From under the gun, Benny Spindler raised to 32,000. His only customer was Keven Stammen from the big blind to see a flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Stammen checked, and Spindler fired 50,000 as his continuation bet. Stammen called.

The turn paired the board with the {4-Clubs}, and Stammen checked over to Spindler again. Spindler tossed out 200,000, and Stammen folded.
