Cheung's Fortune Reversed
Robert Cheung, who won a bracelet back in 2007 after taking down Event #38 $1,500 NLHE, had good start here on Day 1a, but his fortunes have quickly reversed. In a recent hand, Cheung was under the gun and raised to 650 after looking down at 
. He received a call from the small blind and it was heads up to the 
flop.
Cheung had flopped top pair with top kicker, not too mention the ace-high flush draw. He promptly bet 975 after the small blind had checked, and received a call. When the 
hit the turn, the small blind surprised Cheung by leading out for 2,000. Cheung thought for a moment before putting in a raise to 6,500, the small blind moved all in, and Cheung snap-called.
The small blind rolled over 
for the superior hand, meaning Cheung needed to hit the river. Unfortunately for him, the 
blanked and he was sent to the rail and no doubt off to another tournament.
