Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong waits for the pot after doubling up with trip aces.

Joseph Cheong raised from the cutoff to 100,000, and Ben Farrell called from the small blind.

The flop came As8h5c, Farrell checked Cheong bet 100,000, and Farrell called.

The turn card paired the board with the Ac, Farrell checked, Cheong bet 350,000, and Farrell called.

The river card was the Jd, Farrell checked, Cheong moved all in for 1,100,000, and Farrell called with Ah10h for trip aces.

But Cheong turned over AdKd to win the pot with trip aces and a king kicker to double up in chips.

Joseph Cheong  –  3,400,000  (68 bb)
Ben Farrell  –  1,570,000  (31 bb)
