Joseph Cheong on Day 3.
Joseph Cheong on Day 3.

Steffen Retterholt raised to 13,000 from middle position and then called when Joseph Cheong three-bet to 31,000 from the cutoff. Retterholt proceeded to check-call bets of 36,000 on the {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop and 70,000 on the {9-Spades} turn, before the {4-Hearts} was put out on the river.

Again Retterholt checked, but this time he thought long and hard before calling Cheong's 128,000 bet. "Two pair," Cheong said and rolled over {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Retterholt scoffed, shook his head, and then sent his cards to the muck.
