Cheng Flushes Out Shaoming

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Another big pot was brewing on Kosei Ichinose’s table, though this time the Japanese poker pro is just a spectator. The action was three-way between Macau’s Sam Cheong, China’s Li Shaoming and Taiwan’s Chiu Tzu Cheng with a sizable amount of chips already in the pot with the flop spread {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Cheng, sitting in the big blind, had checked the action over to Cheong, who led out for 11,000 with Shaoming making the call before Cheng check-raised all-in for 56,600.

While this was enough to get Cheong to bow out Shaoming thought it over. It was a big call for his tournament life, but eventually, he chose to make it and the cards were turned over.

Li Shaoming: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Chiu Tzu Cheng: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Shaoming had the best of it with top pair but would need to fade Cheng’s diamonds, but as you can probably guess from the title of this post, that did not happen. The {3-Clubs} was a nice safe card but the {6-Diamonds} river saw Cheng get there and she stacked up to 120,000 while Shaoming headed for the rail.
