Ribeiro Cooks Cheong
Level 8
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Igor Ribeiro opened to 32,000 in middle position and Joseph Cheong three-bet to 125,000 out of the small blind. Ribeiro responded with a four-bet to 240,000 and Cheong five-bet shoved all in for around 540,000. Ribeiro quickly called and the cards were tabled.
Joseph Cheong: A♠K♣
Igor Ribeiro: A♣A♦
Cheong was fighting an uphill battle and the flop of J♦3♥2♠ provided no immediate relief. The 5♥ on the turn gave him some chop outs but the K♦ on the river secured the pot for Ribeiro.
