APL MAIN EVENT (26,000 TWD)

A four way raised pot read a flop of 2♣ 3♥ 4♥ . Player on the small blind took initiative and bravely ripped 31,500 . Guofeng Hoe, seated next to him, made the call while the rest stepped aside.

When the cards were tabled, Hoe revealed A♥ 5♣ for a flopped straight, dominating the small blind’s A♦ 4♦ top pair.

With only a chop left to hope for, the board bricked out 7♦ 9♠ , landing Hoe the pot and leaving one out of the Day 1E running.
