Cheong Shoves River

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Gabriel Le Jossec opened for 43,000 on the button and got called by small blind Joseph Cheong and big blind Zuo 'ST' Wang.

All three players checked the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and when the {q-Hearts} hit the felt on the turn Cheong bet 80,000 and Wang made the call but Le Jossec folded.

The river card {j-Clubs} meant there was straight and flush possibilities and Cheong moved all in, covering Wang. Wang looked a bit surprised by this development and took several minutes, including a few looks back at his hole cards, before he mucked his hand.

More For Barer

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Gabriel Le Jossec popped it up to 40,000 before the flop and found a call from Ami Barer in the big blind. The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Barer check-called a bet of 50,000 from Le Jossec.

Fourth street was the {4-Diamonds} and Barer checked once more. Le Jossec continued his aggression by betting 95,000. Barer called, the {3-Diamonds} hit the river, and both players checked.

Barer tabled {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for jacks and nines to take down the pot. His stack has increased to about 1.6 million while Le Jossec's dropped to around 1.05 million.

Barer Chipping Up

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Ami Barer has been picking up quite a few pots in the last few hands, opening for a minimum 40,000 and either getting it through or taking it down post flop with a continuation bet.

One that didn’t go his way was when Barer opened for 40,000, Gabriel Le Jossec called and Zuo 'ST' Wang moved all in from the big blind.

Jung Bests Barer

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Ami Barer opened to 40,000 from the cutoff only to have Sunny Jung three-bet the action to 160,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Barer called to see a flop.

The dealer spread out {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Barer check-called a continuation bet of 140,000. Both players checked the {10-Clubs} on the turn and the {6-Spades} on the river, prompting Jung to show a winning {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a pair of tens. With this win, Jung's stack has increased to about 2.9 million.

Set For Cheong

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Sunny Jung opened for 44,000 and found callers in small blind Joseph Cheong and big blind Zuo 'ST' Wang. The flop fell {4-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} and was checked around.

The turn card was the {8-Clubs} and Cheong led out for 77,000. Wang folded but Jung called to see a river {3-Spades} complete the board. Cheong continued for 185,000 and Jung thought for a couple minutes before he made the call. Cheong showed {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a set and Jung mucked.
