Hand #147: Joseph Cheong Doubles Thru Daniel Perper

There is no small blind this hand. Joseph Cheong moves all in from the button for 970,000, and Daniel Perper calls from the big blind with [As3h]. Cheong turns over [5d5h], and he’ll need it to hold to stay alive.

The board comes [10c9d3dQd8d], and Cheong wins the pot with a diamond flush to double up in chips.
