Cheong Wins Battle of the Blinds

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action was on the small blind who raised to 400 and Joseph Cheong was in the big blind and three-bet to 1,600. The small blind called and they were heads up to the flop of {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}. The small blind bet the pot and Cheong raised all in for 5,450, quickly getting called.

Cheong tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} and his opponent showed {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-}. The turn was the {j-Diamonds}, giving Cheong a straight and the river bricked out with a {2-Diamonds}. Cheong doubled up through his opponent.
