Cheng Busts Lee
There are now 24 players in action with Nevan Cheng the man to thin the field. The short stacked Jeho Lee moved all-in pre-flop for his last 39,400 from under-the-gun plus one and action folded around to Cheng in the big blind.
It took Cheng some time to make his decision so it was quite a surprise to see him turn over the hand he did when he finally decided to make the call after around 2 minutes in the tank.
Nevan Cheng:
Jeho Lee:
It was a fair fight, but it was one that Lee lost immediately when the flop came down and with Cheng holding a diamond Lee found himself needing to hit the deck's one remaining non-diamond eight.
As you can clearly see from the post title, that did not happen and after the turn and river completed the hand Lee headed for the exit while Cheng stacked up to 151,000.
