Cheong had a quote in the November Issue of bluff Magazine where he said "When I actually think about winning, I want second place. Im not afraid of coming first, but if I had my choice I'd prefer second." He went on to say he was too lazy for all of the Public Appearances the champ has to make.
Then last night I think he proved that point. He's the chip leader with 3 left and he Preflop raises with A7 offsuit. Gets reraised. He pops it again. Duhamel 5 bets it with queens and Cheong pushes allin and doesnt catch the Ace. Im sorry but after a 5 bet he's committed and you know youve got to be a dog going into it.
IMO, he stuck to his word and did not want to win first place. I didnt like it. Id rather seen Racener with a better chance but by then Duhamel had over 80% of the chips in play.
Anyone else find this quote and his play fishy???
