Cheng's Shove Gets Through
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The player in the hijack raised to 12,000. The cutoff three-bet to 34,000. Cher Whey Cheng, in the big blind, three-bet to 110,000.
The hijack went deep into the tank before giving up his hand. The cutoff quickly folded.
''I wanted a call!'' commented Cheng.
''You had a pocket?'' asked the player in the hijack.
''For sure. I put my tournament life at risk. Picture pocket.''
''I had ace-king,'' said the hijack.
''Really? I had ace-king too! but I folded,'' added one of their tablemates!
''No, I had ace-king! I'm playing with liars,'' answered Cheng jokingly.
