Cheong Tossed

Action folded to Joseph Cheong in the hijack and he moved all in for 39,500. The button and small blind both folded, but Eugene Katchalov splashed in a call from the big.

Showdown
Katchalov: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Cheong: {5-Spades}{2-Spades}

The {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop was kind to Katchalov as it paired his ace, though it did give Cheong a gut-shot straight draw to a three. Unfortunately for the 2010 November Niner, he would find no help as the {J-Spades} turn and {10-Spades} river both blanked.

"Good game guys," Cheong said before taking his leave.
