Chips for Cheong

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

It folded to 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong in the hijack seat, and as Cheong often does when folded to in the hijack seat, he raised -- this time to 2,300. The cutoff called, as did the big blind.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The big blind checked, and Cheong continued with a bet of 3,100. The cutoff quickly called, and the third player stepped aside. The turn brought the {K-Spades}, and both players checked.

The river was the {10-Spades}. Cheong bet 6,600, and his opponent didn't waste much time before calling. Cheong quickly opened his hand -- {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for top pair, top kicker -- and his opponent mucked.

Cheong has about 128,000.
