Cheong and Duhamel in clash of the titans, 'subiime' takes chip lead

Saturday, 6 November 2010

Online tournament phenomenon Joseph "subiime" Cheong has won over 200 poker tournaments online and just stepped a lot closer to making it 201 after taking a big pot from fellow super-stack Jonathan Duhamel.

With the two having such similar (45m - 50m) stacks a confrontation was bound to be devestating and unfortunately for the Canuck he came off on the wrong side of it after 3-betting a Cheong raise to 3,100,000.

'subiime' called out of position and checked the 4-A-T flop, calling a 3,250,000 bet from chip leader Duhamel. The six of clubs on the turn seemed to change nothing and both players checked before Cheong fired a gigantic 8,250,000 bet out on the river of the 4-A-T-6-J rainbow board.

Duhamel deliberated for around half a minute before sliding in the chips and mucking when Cheong showed 6d-4d for a fruity pre-flop call and a turned two pair. He takes the chip lead now with over 55,000,000 while Duhamel drops to around 40,000,000.
