Cheong Falls Before the Final Table
Level 10
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
As Paul Newey was being eliminated at one table, a big hand was taking place between Kyle Cheong and Aidan Tam at the other.
When we arrived, there was around 250,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Cheong had just bet 92,000, and Tam responded by moving all in. Cheong had around 300,000 behind and wasted little time in calling it off.
Cheong: 
Tam: 
A fortunate flop allowed Tam to crack Cheong's aces, but more importantly �� and much to the dismay of Cheong �� it held as the 
blanked on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
The elimination occurred before the final table redraw, which means just eight players will be at the final table.
