Cheong Eliminated by Lee on the Day 1a Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On the outer tables, Suya Lee raised it up on the button and Yuan Xiang Cheong three-bet jammed out of the small blind. Lee inquired for his raising chips to be pulled in and it was another 46,000 on top. The reluctant call by Lee followed and a crowd gathered around the tables ahead of the showdown, once all other tables were completed.
Yuan Xiang Cheong: A?K?
Suya Lee: A?J?
Lee paced around the table and then celebrated when the A?J?8? flop improved his hand to aces and jacks. The A? turn made that aces full of jacks and the 4? river let the Day 1a bubble burst with 34:22 minutes remaining in level 17.
All 22 survivors will bag up their chips and return on Saturday, May 6, 2023 with a min-cash already locked up.
