Cheung Lucky To Chop

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Robert Cheung
Robert Cheung

We observed the action starting with Robert Cheung check-calling the 15,000 bet of his opponent on the {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop with the pot already at roughly 25,000. Cheung checked the {3-Hearts} turn and his opponent followed with an all in. Cheung called and he was not happy when the hands were tabled.

Cheung: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

His opponent had the straight with outs to the flush and Cheung was drawing to a chop. As luck would have it, one of Cheung's outs came when the {5-Diamonds} river was dealt, giving both players the same hand. Needless to say
the river put a little bounce in Cheung's step.
