Fox Takes Some Chips from Cheong

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Elio Fox opened to 6,500 from under the gun, three players called, including Joseph Cheong in the small blind and Phil Hellmuth in the big.

The dealer flipped over {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} on the flop, action checked to Fox who bet 5,500 and Cheong check-raised to 25,000. Hellmuth ducked and Fox called, the dealer burned and turned the {j-Hearts}.

Cheong checked to Fox, he bet 18,500 and Cheong called. A {4-Spades} landed on the river, both player checked and tabled their hands. Fox turned over {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for a pair of queens, Cheong mucked and Fox scooped in the pot.
