$1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em championship (Event #38) was Robert Cheung. He
is a 46-year-old businessman from Vancouver, BC (Canada). Cheung was born in
Hong Kong. He holds a Ph.D. Cheung, who goes by the initials 'RCW,' has only
been playing poker seriously for about two years. He learned how to play the
game from his friends. This was Cheung's fourth occasion to cash at the WSOP,
and third time this year. Cheung also took fourth place in the $5,000 buy-in
championship event last year at Harvey Lake Tahoe's World Series of Poker
Circuit - netting about $80,000 in profit. Cheung arrived at the final table
second in chips to Andrew Lee. The final table lasted about six hours. First
place paid $673,628. |
