High Roller: Joseph Cheong Eliminated by Noah Schwartz

$25,500 High Roller (Re-Entry)
Structure
Level 11:  3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante
Players Remaining:  57 of 145

After a flop of QcJd9c, Joseph Cheong got it all in from the big blind with KhJh for a pair of jacks with a gutshot straight draw, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Js10s of Noah Schwartz, who was UTG+1. Schwartz had a pair of jacks with a lower kicker, along with an open-ended straight draw.

The turn card was the 4d, the river was the 8c, and Schwartz rivered a queen-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Cheong from the tournament.

Noah Schwartz  –  300,000  (50 bb)
Joseph Cheong  –  Eliminated
