Sparrow Cheung may be on a deficit against the massive stacked Ming Ken Thoo but he is certainly in command at this moment. Cheung has been taking a stand, picking up multiple pots to slowly climb out of danger and bring the team's stack to around thirty big blinds.

A few consecutive hands saw Cheung take the first with a three-bet jam preflop and Thoo folded, giving up his 125,000 raise. This sent Cheung stack just over the million mark.

The next deal started as a limped pot with Cheung on the button. After they checked the flop Q 3 A , Cheung bet 100,000 on the turn 7 and 150,000 on the river 6 . Thoo check-called both then mucked to Cheung's Q 8 .

The third win started as another limped pot, then Cheung took control, betting 75,000 at the flop T 2 5 and 200,000 on the turn 3 . Thoo folded to the turn bet.
