Cheadle Slays the Dragon

Don Cheadle

A short-stacked David Pham got it all in before the flop holding {7-Spades} {4-Spades} and was looked up by Don Cheadle who tabled a pocket pair of jacks. The board ran out {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and Cheadle claimed the pot and the match with two pair, queens and jacks.

The win sends Cheadle into the Round of 32 where he'll face 2007 NBC Heads-Up Champ Paul Wasicka.
