APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

Up against a late position open and a call, Yuhyeon Chu squeezed all-in on the big blind for 27,600 (20 BB) and was challenged by initial raiser Kevin Mateo.

Chu already significantly ahead, bagged a slam dunk win on board T♦ T♠ 6♦ 9♠ A♦ , having left his opponent drawing dead at an instant.

Haechang Lee opened on the cutoff and put out 3,000 more following a raise from Yuhyeon Chu a seat after.

Action was checked round to turn K♥ 6♣ T♠ 2♣ , where Chu fired a delayed continuation bet of 8,000. Lee opted not to risk more chips and threw in the fold.

Wonkook Son defended his cutoff open and called a 3,000 three bet from Yuhyeon Chu on the button.

On flop 2♠ 2♣ 3♥ , Chu wasted no time and demanded for the rest of Son's 21 BB stack. Son called off for his last 12,700 with a straight draw 6♠ 5♦ and was up against Chu's 8♦ 8♣ for his tournament life.

Runout A♥ K♦ bricked for Chu, ending his run at today's Day 1B games.

In a final attempt to secure the 15,200 in the middle across a completed board of 2♣ 3♣ J♣ 5♠ , Sihyun Kim shot out a bet of 5,000 and was looked up by Yuhyeon Chu on the small blind.

Kim showed a king-high flush K♣ T♥ and raked in the pot as Chu tossed his hand back to the dealer.

Adrien Rohe opened in early position and was met with a 2,500 three bet from Yuhyeon Chu on the button. Youngtaek Lim on the big blind, bumped it up to 8,500 and saw Rohe stuff his entire 37,200. Chu got out of the way and Lim snap called for the rest.

A cooler situation, Rohe bowed out shortly after finding no escape on board 8♥ J♠ 7♥ 9♦ 8♣ .
