Joe Cheong

Joe Cheong opened to 800 from under the gun and got two callers.

The flop came JhJd9s, it checked to James Calderaro who bet 5,600, Joey Weissman folded and Cheong called.

Both players checked the 5c, on the turn. The river brought the Ah, and Cheong moved all in having Calderaro covered. Calderaro folded leaving himself with around 15,000.

Cheong asked what he had and Calderaro said Ace King. Cheong said “You wouldn’t fold ace king to me.”

A few hands later Calderaro was eliminated by Cheong.

Joe Cheong – 115,000
James Calderaro – Eliminated
