Cheong Eliminated by Banks
Level 20
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The hot streak of LaDarren Banks continues as he also knocked out Joseph Cheong. The latter hit top and bottom pair with a flush draw on the 
flop with 
but Banks had that crushed with the 
for the top set and nut flush draw.
Cheong was drawing to four outs with an off-suit nine for a straight or the case nine of diamonds for the straight flush but the 
turn and 
river kept Banks' nut flush as the superior hand.
