Cheong takes hit


2013 Manila Millions champ Joseph Cheong can’t seem to find his rhythm tonight. He opened for 550 at the button and found the SB player call.

Flop: 2 A 9

Cheong fired 1,100 but was re-popped to 1,300 more by his opponent. Cheong made the call. He check-called the turn 3 for 2,500 and also the river 4 for 3,500.

Opponent showed A 9 for the two pairs and Cheong mucked his hand. Cheong drops to below 17,000 after this hand.
