Cheung Doubles Through Lam
A big pot played out between Sparrow Cheung and Gary Lam that saw the latter take a big hit and the former earn a critical double-up.
It was Cheung who was the driver in this particular hand, though we missed the amount of his initial opening raise. When we arrived, Lam had three-bet to 50,000 from the big blind and Cheung had pulled the trigger for 152,000 in total.
Both players were on their feet and, sensing something significant was going down, a crowd gathered around. Eventually, Lam made his decision and flicked in a single yellow 1k chip to represent the call, looking crushed when Cheung rolled over , and when Lam revealed his it was easy to see why he might be a little sad.
The runout saw Cheung take down the pot to climb to 304,000, while Lam took the hit stoically to drop to 40,000.
