A Double For Cheong

Ekrem Sanioglu opened with a raise to 1,200 only to have Joseph Cheong three-bet from late position to 3,000. It folded back to Sanioglu and he called.

The dealer pounded the table and spread out a flop of {5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Sanioglu checked to Cheong and he bet 2,475, leaving himself with only 5,000 behind. Sanioglu announced all in and Cheong called with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Sanioglu showed {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and did not improve enough to beat Cheong's aces as the {Q-Hearts} turned and the {2-Hearts} rivered. Cheong is now sitting on roughly 22,000 in chips.
