Teeraphat Rangkatekarn

With just 15 players remaining, Joseph Cheong opened to 100,000 from the hijack and action went to Teeraphat Rangkatekarn on the button, who three-bet to 250,000. Cheong called, taking the pair to the 4 9 J flop.

Cheong check-called after Rangkatekarn bet 150,000 and the A was placed on the turn.

This prompted another check from Cheong, and Rangkatekarn bet 700,000. Cheong paused, then jammed for 1,300,000 and was called by Rangkatekarn.

Joseph Cheong: Q 8

Teeraphat Rangkatekarn: K T

Cheong turned the flush and there was only a handful of outs that were good for Rangkatekarn, who needed to also hit another spade.

The dealer peeled the 2 river, which saw Rangkatekarn steal the pot from Cheong with the bigger flush, leaving just 14 players to battle it out to make the money.
