Jose Cheung

Lenart Ecarma made it 4,000 to go from an early position and Jose Cheung just called in the cutoff. Ecarma bet the flop for 6,000, Cheung raised to 12,000 and then instantly called for his last 35,500 when Ecerma jammed right into his trap. No miracle runner-runner came and Ecarma was left on a nub.
