Joseph Cheong raised from under the gun to 400. The player in the next seat called and then action folded to Roger Hairabedian in the small blind. He called and Sami Kelopuro called out of the big blind.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Hairabedian led for 550 and Kelopuro folded. Cheong called and the last player called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades} and Hairabedian bet 1,150. Cheong called and the next player raised to 3,800. Hairabedian folded, but Cheong called.

The river completed the board with the {8-Spades} and Cheong checked. His opponent checked.
