Cheong Busts on Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Kyle Cheong

Leon Sturm open raised from middle position and Kyle Cheong moved all in from the button with a short stack. Mikalai Vaskaboinikau then moved all in over the top from the big blind and Sturm folded. Players flipped their cards, with Cheong at risk.

Kyle Cheong: A?Q?
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: K?K?

The board ran out 6?7?2?8?8?. Vaskaboinikau had pocket kings and made two pair with the eights on board. Cheong was eliminated from the tournament one before the money.

"My friend, you've been unlucky against me today," said Vaskaboinikau.

"Yes, but it's been fun," said Cheong as he left the table.
