See You in November

Joseph Cheong will have to wait until November to play for a bracelet. We had two November Niners in our starting field today, and both of them have had far less success in this London version of the WSOP Main Event.
Cheong has just become the latest victim of Day 1a after a steady slide down and out the door. He had just 3,750 chips when he shipped it in preflop with king-jack. Ted Lawson found ace-king and made the call, and a board full of blanks is all she wrote for Cheong.
The good news for the young man is that, unlike the rest of this field, he still has one more chance to snag a bracelet this year. We'll see Cheong and the also-busto Michael Mizrachi in November at the final table of the main Main Event.
"I did most of the damage," Jason Mercier informed us with a smirk as we walked away. "... Just so you know."
