Robert Cheung Eliminated in 9th Place ($21,979)

Level 29 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Robert Cheung - 9th Place
Robert Cheung - 9th Place

Robert Cheung opened to 170,000 from early position and the action folded to Huy Nguyen who called in the big blind. Both players checked the {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and Nguyen checked again after the {8-Clubs} turned. Cheung bet 260,000, Nguyen check-raised all in for 1.2 million and Cheung snapped it off.

Nguyen: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Cheung: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Cheung ran into the nuts and needed the board to pair to make a full house. The {4-Spades} on the river did not improve his hand however, and the WSOP bracelet winner exited in 9th place.

Nguyen is now over 5 million chips.
