The best thing about poker is that anything can happen and unexpected turns of events keep things decidedly spicy. It was Sam Cheong who was adding the spice in this particular hand, at it was a doozy.

After Pete Chen folded the button Justin Chan chose to get cute and just complete from the small blind. Sam Cheong decided to try and end the hand pre-flop and moved all-in and Chan beat him into the pot.

Sam Cheong: {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Justin Chan: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Chan was in great shape and looked to be primed to come back for Day 2 with a decent sized stack when the flop came down {j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. However, the poker gods had other ideas and the {7-Hearts} turn gave Cheong additional gutshot straight outs to go with his one overcard.

You can guess what happened next… and you would be right if you guessed that Cheong got there, binking his runner, runner gutter when the {6-Diamonds} completed the hand.

Cheong celebrated with a fist pump and a cheer while Chan looked like he wanted to puke all over the table and dropped down to 6,000 while Cheong climbed to the giddy heights of 150,000.
