Cheong Thrives on Day 5's

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Joseph Cheong is no stranger to the Main Event. In 2010, he made a deep run and ultimately finished in third place. Last year, Cheong made another deep run finishing in 114th place. Now, Cheong is at it again as he works on building his stack here on Day 5, the third consecutive year he's done so.

If the past two years are any indication, we can expect Cheong to finish the day with quite a bit more than he started with:
