Cheong Fires Three Times

Joseph Cheong raised to 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by the player in the big blind. The flop came down {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and the big blind checked. Cheong continued out with a bet of 13,500 and his opponent made the call.

Fourth street brought the {8-Spades} and once again the big blind checked. Cheong shot out a second bullet, this time making the magic number 25,000. The big blind tossed out five orange chips worth 5,000 each and the two players were off to the river.

The {K-Hearts} came on the river and the big blind checked for a third time. Cheong pushed out a bet of 57,500 and his opponent looked incredibly discouraged. He threw his cards into the muck and the chips were pushed Cheong's way. Cheong tabled the {2-Clubs} as he raked in a pot to bring him close to 400,000 in chips.
