APL MAIN EVENT (26,000 TWD)

Taehwan Kim opened from utg and called Yoda Lin's 35,000 raise right beside. All else folded, and Kim completed.

On board J♣ 6♥ 5♠ A♣ , Lin double barreled - 30,000, followed by an all-in for Kim's 121,000 behind on turn A♣ . Kim called down both streets with top pair A♥ Q♥ , and was crushed to see Lin table a better hand A♠ J♠ .

River 4♣ sealed the win for Lin, eliminating Kim from the Day 1C games.

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

A hefty pot was building up at Table 30 with Yoda Lin and Fung Tsun Ming getting in the thick of it.

With 215,000 in the middle and a completed board T♠ 2♦ 3♥ J♦ 5♦ spread out on the felt, Lin wasted no time pushing his last 147,000 in. Fung went deep in the tank and was ultimately, forced to a decision as another player called time.

Fung made the crying call with a pair of tens A♥ T♥ , but couldn't get past Lin's backdoor flush Q♦ T♦ , leaving him with just seven big blinds.
