Cheng Becomes Contender for the Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ting-Yi Tsai won a showdown pot on table two to chip up slightly while table one brought a multi-way pot preflop in which Jimmy Torres and Chao-Ting Cheng went to the 5?3?2?K?8? river.
Torres checked and instantly called Cheng's bet of 700,000 to get shown 6?4? for the flopped nuts by Cheng, who was the shortest stack on the table not long ago. After paying off the bet, Torres flashed his 3?3? for a set of treys.
