Cheung Doubles Through Lam

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A big pot played out between Sparrow Cheung and Gary Lam that saw the latter take a big hit and the former earn a critical double-up.

It was Cheung who was the driver in this particular hand, though we missed the amount of his initial opening raise. When we arrived, Lam had three-bet to 50,000 from the big blind and Cheung had pulled the trigger for 152,000 in total.

Both players were on their feet and, sensing something significant was going down, a crowd gathered around. Eventually, Lam made his decision and flicked in a single yellow 1k chip to represent the call, looking crushed when Cheung rolled over {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, and when Lam revealed his {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} it was easy to see why he might be a little sad.

The {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} runout saw Cheung take down the pot to climb to 304,000, while Lam took the hit stoically to drop to 40,000.
