Cheong Doubles Opponent

Joseph Cheong opened with a raise to 17,000 and had the player in the small blind ship all in for 68,000 total. The big blind folded and Cheong called without hesitation.

Cheong: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Cheong's opponent stood up from the table. The {J-Hearts} hit the turn, pairing Cheong's opponent.

"Oh there's always a sweat," said someone at the table. And just like that, the {J-Spades} rolled off on the river, giving Cheong's opponent the best hand. Cheong is now down to about 750,000 in chips.
