Joseph Cheong

Joseph Cheong tweeted that he is heading to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for the first time in a few years and said, possibly tongue in cheek, that there��s nothing like starting the year in a $70,000 hole. That "hole" is now $30,939 less after the popular pro took down the $215 Sunday Supersonic online at PokerStars on Jan. 7.

Cheong, playing as his famous ��subiime�� moniker, was one of 915 entrants in the six-max hyper-turbo tournament, a tournament that took only two hours and 23 minutes to complete. Cheong locked horns with partypoker��s Kristen ��krissyb24�� Bicknell, heads up for the title, and he was the player to come out on top, resigning Bicknell to the $22,021 consolation prize.

This latest victory was Cheong��s 104th in online poker circles and it takes his lifetime online winnings to more than $3.16 million, according to PocketFives.com.

Another player winning big was ��BillLewinsky�� of the Netherlands. The Dutchman triumphed over a field of 800 players in Winter Series 38 - High: $1,050 NLHE 8-Max Turbo Progressive KO for a massive haul of $121,686 ($54,464 came from bounties.)

BillLewinsky overcame a final table that homed the likes of Robin ��robinho�� Ylitalo (who amazingly never claimed one bounty), Simon ��C. Darwin2�� Mattsson and his heads-up opponent ��True Pokah�� of Latvia.
