Cheong Checks It Down

Action opened with a player making it 3,700 in early position. He received one caller and Joseph Cheong decided to three-bet the action to 14,200. It folded back around to the original raiser who made the call. The other player got out of the way and Cheong and his opponent were off to see a flop.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Spades} and both players checked. The turn brought the {J-Diamonds} and once again both players checked rather quickly. The river was the {2-Spades} and they both checked once again. Cheong's opponent tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Cheong mucked his hand. This small hit to Cheong's stack brings him to about 234,000 in chips.
