Cheng Chao Ting Makes 8th Place Exit
Cheng Chao Ting - 8th PlaceTMT Championship 2024 HighRoller (Event #H1)
Chia Huang and Cheung Chao Ting flirted a bit with raise and re-raises before finally agreeing to go all-in. Ting made the call and put all his remaining 170,000 at risk.
Huang was ahead all the way. The turn may have presented more outs to the pocket nines of Ting, but the jack on the river made a huge statement to knock out Ting at 8th place after beginning the day as the final table chip leader. Cheng Chao Ting will earn NT$ 100,000 (~US$ 3,100) for the effort.

After getting his stack crippled, Chih Fang made a desperate attempt to stay alive by pushing all-in for his last 72,000 from under the gun. Cheng Chao Ting liked his cards from the big blind and defended with a call.
Ting was ahead pre-flop and ahead on the flop, but the poker gods reversed the fortunes on the turn and stamped it with an exclamation on the river. Fang bagged a desperate double up while Ting got stung.
