Cheng Gets a Miraculous Double
Guanyun Cheng opened to 110,000 under the gun and action folded around to Donald Nimneh, who three-bet to 450,000 in the big blind.
"All in," responded Cheng after about 10 seconds and Nimneh leaned back in his chair, visibly concerned with the raise.
"I'm not lying man. I'm not bullshitting. I have a very strong hand," said Nimneh. Just shy of three-and-a-half minutes went by and Nimneh announced a call.
Cheng:
Nimneh:
Nimneh had called with a dominating hand and remained ahead through the flop . The turn gave Cheng a backdoor flush draw, and it completed on the river .
"Yes!" exclaimed Cheng, clapping his hands together forcefully one time and standing up from his seat after making the nut flush.
Stacks were counted and Cheng's was 3.05 million. After Nimneh paid him off, he was left with just 320,000
