Cheong's Flop Check-Back Earns Two Streets

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Joseph Cheong opened 16,000 in the hijack and both Kyle Carlston and Thomas Muehloecker came along in the blinds.

The dealer fanned a flop of J44, and all three players checked to the 8 turn. Carlston casually tossed a 25,000 chip across the line, forcing Muehloecker to fold but Cheong stuck around with a call.

The board completed with the K on the river and Carlston continued for 75,000. Cheong took a bit longer this time, but eventually made the call.

Carlston rolled 98 for eights and fours but it was no good as Cheong tabled J10 for jacks-up to drag the pot.
