Joseph Cheong

One elimination away from all remaining players being in the money, Yuanzhi Cao raised to 16,000 from the cutoff.

Joseph Cheong, who was in the small blind, moved all in with 106,000. Cao thought about it for a second, then made the call.

Joseph Cheong: AQAll in
Yuanzhi Cao: 88

Cheong needed help to avoid being the bubble boy and he didn't get it from a runout of 967J2.

Cao took down the pot with his pair of eights.
