APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

Kyeongmin Lee opened early position and called a 3,600 three bet from Kevin Mateo on the hijack.

Action checked round to turn A♣ 8♦ 3♣ 7♦ , where Mateo sent out a 5,000 bet. Lee check called to see river K♦ , and committed his remaining 10,200 with A♠ 4♠ after Mateo barreled all-in.

Mateo revealed his trap with two pair A♥ K♣, eliminating Lee from the Day 1B running.

Kyeongmin Lee defended his early open and called a 3,500 three bet from Sin Yong Il on the small blind.

Action on flop A♠ T♥ 4♣ was checked round to turn 9♥ , where Lee gunned a bet of 6,500. Il check raised to 17,000, and showed A♥ A♣ shortly after Lee slipped the fold.

With already 31,300 in the middle across board T♥ 9♦ 5♠ 2♠ , Byeolram Yu led out a bet of 6,500 and shelled out 9,000 more following a raise from Kyeongmin Lee behind. Getting costlier, Yu was ultimately unable to get to showdown after Lee demanded for the rest on river 2♦ .
