Cheong Strong

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Joseph Cheong opened for 250 from under the gun and saw the table fold to Josh Arieh who called from the button. The small blind then reraised to 750, and both Cheong and Arieh called.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and the reraiser led for 2,000 with only Cheong calling. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and when Cheong's opponent pushed all in he called right away.

The small blind showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a flopped straight, but Cheong had a full house with his {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The river was the {7-Hearts}, and Cheong's opponent hit the rail just before the end of the Level 2. Meanwhile, Cheong is up over 40,000.
