Ari Engel Doubles Through Joseph Cheong
Level 26
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
On the button, Joseph Cheong raised to 125,000 and Ari Engel announced all in from the small blind. Oleksii Khoroshenin folded in the big blind and Cheong asked "can I get a count please?" Once it was determined to be 1,585,000, Cheong called.
Engel: 
Cheong: 
The flop of 
gave Cheong top pair, but Engel picked up a flush draw. After the 
turn, the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event champion also had a straight draw. Instead, it was the 
river that kept Engel in the event and put a dent into the big stack of Cheong.
