Manila Millions champ out on last hand of the night


Looking to steal the blinds could be a bad thing. Joseph Cheong aimed to do that in the final hand of the night and dearly paid for it.

Going all-in with 10 7 he found a caller in Dereck LeaƱo who was apologetic with the call but had no choice as he was holding pocket kings. Flop 6 3 Q, turn 5 and river 9 came and so did the end of Cheong’s Day 1A stint.

Probably not too big a deal for Cheong: he IS THE Manila Millions champion.
