APT Main Event - Flight D (30/45 Mins) - TWD 65,000,000 GTD

Pakwarin Teerawatpattana limped from early-position and Chun Yu Chen next to her put out an isolation raise. Heads-up to the flop A♥ K♥ 7♣ they went.

Teerawatpattana checked and Chen bet half pot, which the Thai called. She checked again the 4♦ turn and Chen went all-in for around twenty big-blinds which Teerawatpattana called with a monster draw 5♥ 3♥. Chen showed A♦ Q♠ and had to fade, what felt like, half the deck on the river. Unfortunately, for him the river 6♣ gave Teerawatpattana a straight and busted Chen.

Shelley McDermott

Wei Li Hsu found himself all-in with his tournament life at risk, holding A♥ T♦ against Shelley McDermott's J♣ J♥. It was a classic flip, but unfortunately for Hsu, his ace never appeared.

McDermott's jacks held strong, sending Hsu and his remaining 12,000 chips to the rail. Better luck next time!

Nopparat Kongjai opened from early-position and got one caller before Chia-Hung Yen the small-blind squeezed. The Thai responded with a four-bet and Yen called, only leaving himself less than half-pot behidn.

The flop came out 7♠ 5♣ 3♣ and Yen donk shoved his remaining chips into the middle. Kongjai took his time, tanking for several minutes, but eventually decided he was priced in with his A♦ K♦.

Unfortunately for him, he was up against Yen’s pocket kings, K♥ K♣, and the turn and river didn’t deliver the ace he needed and Yen doubled-up.

Shane Pearce

Kenji Yamase opened from the lo-jack and called a small three-bet from Shane Pearce in the small blind. The flop came down 4♦ J♣ 8♥, and Pearce fired a continuation bet of 1,200, which Yamase called.

The turn was the 4♣, and both players opted to check. On the K♦ river.

Pearce checked again and called a 2,000 bet from Yamase. The Japanese player sheepishly turned over queen-ten high, while Pearce scooped the pot with his K♥ Q♥.

Christina Kwai Fun Ying

Seongbae Han opened from early position and got three-bet by Christina Kwai Fun Ying in the big blind. Han called, and they saw a flop of 9♦ 5♠ 7♥.

Ying check-raised the flop to 5,000, which Han called. The turn came 8♥, and Ying bet another 5,000. Han stuck around with a call.

Both players checked the 3♦ river, and Ying revealed her flopped set of 7's to take down the pot.

Joseph Cheong

High-stakes pro Joseph Cheong has just jumped into the last opening flight of the Main Event. His early entry clearly shows he’s serious about this tournament. Good luck to the players at his table—they’ll definitely want to keep their wits about them when facing off against such a formidable opponent!

Tokuya Shuto

Mr. N-Rak Lertphokhanon opened from early position and got min-clicked by Japan's Tokuya Shuto on the button. He made the call, and both players checked the J♦ J♥ 8♣ flop.

The turn brought the J♣, and Lertphokhanon fired 1000, quickly called by Shuto.

On the 5♣ river, Lertphokhanon bet 2500 with his Q♣ T♣, but his flush couldn't beat Shuto's Tx Tx, as the button scooped the pot with his full house.

Leon Tay

Tam Gorden called off a six-bet jam with 3♠ 3♥ and was up against Leon Tay's A♠ A♥ on the button, playing for nearly an entire starting stack.

No miracles for the threes as the aces held, and Tay raked in a healthy pot, leaving Gorden short-stacked.

Chinawut Indracusin opened from the cut-off, and Lit Mui defended his big blind.

The flop came down Q♠ 7♣ T♦, and both players checked.

On the turn J♠, Mui led out for 1,000, and Chinawut quickly called from the cut-off.

The river brought the straight-completing 9♥, and after some thought, Mui fired again for 1,000. Chinawut called, but Mui's K♦ 3♦ was enough to win the pot with a king-high straight.

Andrew Hoon

Shakti Kapoor opened the lojack and got some resistance from Andrew Hoon in the big blind.

The flop came A♥ 3♣ K♣, and after a check from Hoon, Kapoor bet 500, which got called.

The turn was the 3♥, and both players quickly checked.

On the river 5♠, Hoon checked again, prompting Kapoor to bet 1,600. Hoon called with K♠ 7♠, and his pair of kings was enough to take down the pot.
