APL MAIN EVENT (26,000 TWD)

Jungjun Lee opened the action utg to 10,000, followed by a 25,000 three bet from Andrew Ma two seats over. Action folded back to Lee, pushing him to pad the pot further to 50,000. Ma completed, setting up a thrilling 100K pot straight away.

The flop came 4♥ 4♣ 8♣ . Lee checked his option, and Ma bet 45,000. Lee responded by going over the top for his remaining 201,000, immediately called by Lee for an interesting showdown.

Lee A♥ A♣

Ma Q♥ Q♣

Ma in rough shape, arrived at a loss as runout 3♣ 4♠ made no difference, leaving his ladies in pieces against Lee's rockets.

With 57 players left and only 33 advancing to Day 2, we may be heading into the final break of the day. Leading the pack is Yoon In Jun, who’s just crossed the 500K mark, with Yoda Lin close behind, both sitting comfortably with over a hundred big blinds.

Top Chip Counts

Andrew Ma opened utg and called Shen Hao's 18,500 jam from the small blind, putting the latter at risk.

A 50-50 spot, Ma's pocket pair held through board J♥ 5♦ 8♦ 8♥ Q♥ , eliminating Hao from the Main Event Day 1B games.
