Cheong Chips Up at Layne's Expense

Robert Layne opened for 12,000 from the cutoff seat and Joseph Cheong quickly three-bet him to 28,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and action was back on Layne, who flatted.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The {2-Hearts} fell on the turn and Layne checked once more. Cheong nonchalantly tossed a single t25,000 into the middle and Layne called.

The {4-Spades} completed the board and Layne checked a final time to Cheong, who fired again for 33,000. Layne called and Cheong flipped over {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a pair of aces. Layne threw his hand into the muck and a single {J-} was exposed on accident.

Cheong is up to 830,000.
