Cheong's Flop Check-Back Earns Two Streets
Niveau 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joseph Cheong opened 16,000 in the hijack and both Kyle Carlston and Thomas Muehloecker came along in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♣4♠4♥, and all three players checked to the 8♠ turn. Carlston casually tossed a 25,000 chip across the line, forcing Muehloecker to fold but Cheong stuck around with a call.
The board completed with the K♣ on the river and Carlston continued for 75,000. Cheong took a bit longer this time, but eventually made the call.
Carlston rolled 9♦8♦ for eights and fours but it was no good as Cheong tabled J♦10♣ for jacks-up to drag the pot.
