Kings Good For Cheong Again

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

We got to the table with Joseph Cheong calling a bet from Noah Vaillancourt on a board of {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} making the pot approximately 100,000. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Vaillancourt took a few moments before announcing that he was all in. Cheong looked at his cards quickly to confirm that he had the hand he held — {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} — and made the call.

Vaillancourt was drawing thin as he had {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and when the river was the {5-Hearts} that would be the end of his tournament. That massive pot moved Cheong up to 390,000 in chips just a bit shy of Matthew Lapossie who currently has 395,000.
