Thomas Lefort Doubles Through Joseph Cheong

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Thomas Lefort was all in from the big blind for his remaining 44,700, as was the player in the hijack, for his last 18,000. Joseph Cheong was on the button and called, having both players covered.

The hijack tabled {q-Spades}{6-Spades}, Lefort showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Cheong revealed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}, giving Cheong a pair of kings and some outs to eliminate both of his opponents. The turn was the {3-Clubs}, and the river was the {9-Hearts}. Lefort took down the pot to double through Cheong and eliminate the hijack. Meanwhile Cheong was chopped down to just a few big blinds.
