Cheung Takes the Lead
Sparrow Cheung has come to play and is not giving up without a fight and has just taken the chip lead for the first time since heads-up play began.
It all started with a Cheung button limp and Lee checked his option from the blinds and it was off to a 
flop. Lee checked, Cheung bet 400,000 and the Korean player check-raised to 900,000, which Cheung quickly called and the 
paired the board.
Lee now fired for 1.5 million and Cheung called once more, leaving himself roughly 3.3 million behind. As soon as the 
landed on the river Lee moved all-in and Cheung had a decision to make. The Hong Kong player chose to make the call for his tournament life and the cards were turned over.
Lee showed down 
but was outkicked by Cheung��s 
and the Hong Kong player took a slender lead.
