Everybody Wang Cheong Tonight
Level 9
: 400/800, 0 ante
We watched Joseph Cheong, who you may rememeber from the 2010 "November Nine" WSOP Main Event Final Table, get his last 20,400 into the middle with the board reading .
After one opponent made the call to put Cheong at risk, another went deep into the tank, agonizing over his decision while telling the table he had a straight. Eventually, after squeezing his cards in apparent agony, that player released his hand and Cheong quickly announced he had a straight as well.
Tabling the , Cheong showed that by bricking his flush draw, he had ran smack into a runner-runner straight. His lone remaining opponent could not beat it, and a fairly large pot was pushed to Cheong.
