Event 23: Joseph Cheong Eliminated

$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 2: 75/150
Players: 350

There is about 11,000 in the middle on the river with a completed board of Qd9c4hTs3h.

Joseph Cheong bet 7,175 from under the gun and the cutoff moved all in for about 22,500, which was more than enough to cover Cheong’s remaining 10,000.

Cheong thought for a minute before calling. The cutoff showed KdJd, good for the nut straight, and Chong showed 9s9d.

Cheong’s set wasn’t good enough to stay alive and hit the rail halfway through the second level.
