Joseph Cheong Eliminated by Neri Sanchez

Joseph Cheong Bust

On a board reading Qd Ts 8d 9s, Neri Sanchez moves all-in and is called by Joseph Cheong. Cheong turns over Jc Jh for a straight.  However, Sanchez flips up Ks Jd for the nut straight.

The 5c falls on the river and after the chips are counted, Sanchez just barely has Cheong covered.

Neri Sanchez – 1,500,000

Joseph Cheong – Eliminated
