Cheong Finds Value On The River

Joseph Cheong

There was 60,000 in the middle as Joseph Cheong and Frank Calo took a flop heads up of {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Cheong checked to Calo, who fired out 26,000. Cheong assembled the call and put it into the middle. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn, and the river dealt out the {6-Spades}.

Cheong was first to act and put together a bet of 69,000. Calo went into the tank for about a minute before tossing out three green T25000 chips for the call. Cheong announced "I have a King," and showed {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Calo mucked his hand, and Cheong took the chips, upping his stack to 1.7 million.
