APT Main Event - Day 3 - VND 25,000,000,000 GTD

Dylan Foster

It started with this hand:

Dinh Tien Thanh made a 40,000 min-raise from the hi-jack with Dylan Foster defending the big blind.

The flop came 9♥ Q♣ 6♥ and Foster checked his option to Thanh, who obliged with a 30,000 bet.

Foster then re-popped to 95,000. Without much fuss, Thanh fired back to make it 225,000. Foster then made a final push for all his chips up to 623,000.

Thanh thought about his options and decided to risk his last 547,000.

Foster showed K♣ T♥ for a gut-straight draw, which trailed to Thanh's K♠ Q♦ with a top pair and a kicker that negated Foster's king.

The board completed 5♥ and K♦ to give Thanh a winning two-pair and a huge double up to 1,200,000 chips. Foster, meanwhile, was left disheartened and with a dented stack of only 76,000.

In the following hand:

Foster jammed the last 76,000 all-in from the small blind with A♦ 7♦ and was called by Wang Haozhao with J♠ J♣ on the button, who only had to add a few more chips after his initial 40,000 min-raise.

The flop came 2♠ A♥ 4♣ to give Foster the lead with a top-pair and maintained that lead when the board ran 3♠ 4♠ .

Two hands later:

Foster shoved 192,000 all-in with K♠ J♠ from the cut-off and was faced by his nemesis Thanh who defended the big blind with 7♥ 7♣.

The flop peeled 4♦ 7♠ 4♣ giving Thanh a fullhouse. Foster grabbed his beer and his things and stood up to watch the remainder of the board complete on his way out.

The board finished 8♣ 8♦ improving Thanh's full-house, giving him the pot and sending Foster out of the Main Event to enjoy the beaches of Phu Quoc.
