Rocco Puts Cheong to Tough Decision
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Joseph Cheong opened 160,000 in early position and called a three-bet of 425,000 from Michael Rocco in the cutoff.
When the 9♣6♥3♥ flop hit the felt, Cheong check-called 350,000.
The 9♦ paired the board on the turn and Cheong checked once again. Rocco announced a bet of 525,000 as he slid it across the line. Cheong went into the tank, using a couple of time banks before mucking his hand.
