Another Suck-Out Busts Cheng

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A rather eyewatering run-out ended John Cheng's plucky but never mountainously stacked run at Day 1b. He had moved all in for 70,000 over the top of a late-position open to 12,000 from Filippo Scialo (who was playing slightly more). Scialo eyeballed the two stacks for comparison, then made the call.

Cheng: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Scialo: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

The first nine hit on the flop: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and the second on the tun (the {9-Diamonds}), the {q-Clubs} river just lemon juice in the paper cut of defeat.
