Turn the Other Cheeke

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After Steven Cheeke opened for 50,000 from the hijack, Daniel Tighe shoved all in from the small blind. The big folded and Cheeke wasted little time in calling off for roughly 180,000.

Tighe: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Cheeke: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a classic race, but things were looking good for Tighe on the {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. Much to his dismay, the dealer burned and turned the {A-Spades}. "You run pretty good man," Tighe told Cheeke with a hint of disgust in his voice. Cheeke remained silent as the dealer completed the board with the {9-Spades} river.

Tighe thought that he had been eliminated, but a quick check of the stacks revealed that he had 67,000 remaining. He moved all in the very next hand and took down the blinds and antes.
