Rollercoaster Ride for Cheung
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Sparrow Cheung opened to 5,000 in middle position and Arkadi Onikoul three-bet to 15,500 in the cutoff. Denis Timofeev flat-called on the button and the action was back on Cheung. He four-bet jammed all in for 102,500 and Onikoul gave it some thought but folded. Timofeev also took a moment and he decided to call.
Sparrow Cheung: 
Denis Timofeev: 
The flop came 
to give Timofeef the best hand with a set of tens. The 
on the turn changed nothing but the 
on the river gave Cheung a straight in order to double up.
