Joseph "subiime" Cheong Eliminated

Joseph Cheong is the first November Nine member to be eliminated from today's event.

A short-stacked Cheong moved all in with pocket fours and was called by Michael Mizrachi's K-J. Mizrachi paired both of his hole cards to win the pot and send Cheong to the rail.

Joseph Cheong had a side bet with John Racener that the first player out had to buy the other into the upcoming L.A. Poker Classic $10,000 Main Event.

Amazingly, Racener was all in on the same hand at a different table. However, Racener faded his opponent's flush draw to double up and win his side bet with Cheong.
