APL Main Event (65,000 PHP)

Seat Chart

Hoseung Jung fired a 300,000 three bet against a cutoff open and woke up to Paul Zehetleiner shoving all-in for 1,650,000 right behind. Initial raiser opted out while Jung was happy to get it in.

A 50-50 spot, board 8♣ 3♣ 4♦ 6♠ K♠ this time, favored the overcards, earning Jung the pot as Zehetleiner bound for the rails, just shy of making the Final Day.

Down short, Hyuntae Kim pushed his last 440,000 in the middle and faced Hoseung Jung at showdown.

Kim dominated, managed to outflop his opponent on board J♦ 3♥ 3♣ Q♠ , up until the river K♦ landed Jung a better pair to turn it back in his favor.

Action is down to the final two tables. Another seat redraw will be put in place, with play continuing down to the final nine.
