Cheong Does Not Follow Through

Niveau 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Joseph Cheong opened to 3,000 from middle position and received a sole call from the cutoff.

Both players checked through the flop to the turn. Cheong then led out for 7,500 but was unable to shed his opponent, who made the call.

Cheong checked on the river and his opponent checked back before turning over for ace high. That was good enough to scoop the pot as Cheong revealed he held for missed straight and flush draws. Despite losing the pot, Cheong is still among the tournament chipleaders.
