APL MAIN EVENT (26,000 TWD)

Struggling to gain traction, Wu Chiayun open shoved his remaining 37,000 on the cutoff and was challenged by Seiji Kikuoka right on the big blind.

Up for a race, the board 4♣ 6♠ 4♠ 7♠ kept Kikuoka ahead all throughout, with a final J♥ on the river sealing Wu's fate in today's Day 1A charge.

Shao Fu Wang on the small blind, went with 9♠ 9♣ for his last twelve big blinds and was looked up by button raiser Wu Chiayun with 4♦ 4♠ .

Wang in great form, easily bagged the win as board 5♥ K♦ 8♥ 8♣ K♥ delivered no bad beats, earning him a full double.

A three way raised pot led by UTG Seiji Kikuoka saw the Japanese runner continue the aggression with a 5,000 cbet on flop 7♥ 4♠ 2♣ . Only Wu Chiayun on the button made the call, revealing turn 2♥.

Kikuoka checked this time around, prompting Wu to fire a bet of 7,000. Kikuoka took the chance to pad the pot, shooting out a hefty 31,500. Wu completed, and tank called another 52,500 on river Q♠ , only to muck as Kikuoka revealed full house 7♦ 7♣ .

With a healthy 41,500 pot already situated in the center across a completed board A♠ Q♥ 5♠ A♥ 9♥ , Chen Cheng Chun went for the final blow with an all-in for his last 26,200. Wu Chiayun gave it a thought and eventually slipped the call, only to find his cards turned back down as Chen revealed a full house, aces over queens.
