Yea Beats Cheng In Showdown
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Cher Whey Cheng and Joonhee Yea had previously tangled with the superior end for Cheng but the tides now changed. In a duel big blind versus button, Cheng check-called a bet worth 120,000 by Yea on the Q♠9♣5♦6♣ turn and they checked the K♣ river.
Cheng exposed the A♦Q♥ for a pair of queens but Yea had that beat with the 5♣5♥ for a set of fives.
