Chip Count Update

On his third push, Jongwon Lee finally met a caller for his last 370,000 with initial raiser Mitsuki Sakimoto rising to the challenge.

Lee at risk, caught up on board 8♥ 2♣ 5♣ Q♣ J♦ , earning him the much needed double up and another run at the title.

On the next hand, Mitsuki Sakimoto kicked off the action with an open on the cutoff and clapped back with a fourbet to 330,000 against Jongwon Lee's raise on the small blind. Lee completed and went on to lead 500,000 on flop A♦ 4♣ T♥ .

Sakimoto gave it a thought and decided to raise all-in for Lee's 31 big blinds behind. Lee gave up the fight, relinquishing yet another pot to the reigning chip leader.

With only 26 players remaining, the final three tables are due for a seat redraw. Only nine runners will advance to the Final Day, where the hunt for the APL Main Event title continues.

Here are the chip counts:

Jongwon Lee opened 40,000 utg and flicked in 54,000 more following an all-in from Seitaro Aso on the big blind.

Aso in rough shape, bowed out as board A♦ 2♦ 3♣ K♥ K♠ left him entirely in pieces.
