APPT Main Event ($1,650)

Donghyup Kim takes charge with a 50,000 raise from hijack that big blind Adrien Berger calls. When the board runs 5♦ Q♥ T♥, Kim fires 150,000 and another 330,000 on the turn 8♠ . Berger check-calls both. On the river K♠ , Kim fires again for 330,000, Berger tanks and pays to see. Kim shows K♦ Q♦ two pair and ships a huge pot as Berger plunges.

CO Ferdinand Lu opens 45,000, followed by Adrien Berger's 110,000 from the button that sends Lu in the tank. After the aid of a time bank, Lu makes it 345,000 and gets it through without seeing a flop.

With 23 fighters left the top spots go to:

With UTG raising to 35,000, Ferdinand Lu calls from the CO, button Adrien Berger makes it 110,000 and Lu is the only one to call. The flop 3♣ 8♥ J♥ has Berger bet-fold 80,000 when faced with Lu's massive all-in.

Adrien Berger starts the action with a raise to 32,000 from CO, followed by a reraise to 146,000 from Arthur Pierre Eldin to his left. With the action back at Berger, he moves his 1,100,000 in the middle, enough to put Eldin all-in with his last 600,000, who says call and the players' fate is in the dealers hands once more.

With the pot being at 74,000, both contestants check to the turn A♣ and the action gets started with a 35,000 bet by HJ Adrien Berger and a call by Donghyup Kim. The river 8♠ has both players fall back to the same pattern, this time with a 225,000 bet by Berger with holding 2♥ 2♦ and the call being good for Kim's A♠ J♥ .

Huseyin Akgul opens 25,000 from HJ, Adrien Berger makes it 85,000 and Akgul's four-bet-jam is too much for Adrien Berger to stay in the hand.

On a 71,000 four-way turn 8♣ A♠ 3♠ 4♠ that gets checked around to the river J♠ , we see Adrien Berger starting the action from the button, making it 55,000 which is enough to take it down.

With the remaining 71 players all guaranteed at least $2,700 the top stacks are :

Adrien Berger Opens 10,000 from HJ, CO Kim Kunwoo and BB Erik Rozhynskyi call. Checked to him, Kunwoo bets 8,000 on J♣ J♦ 7♦ and folds to Rozhynskyi's 22,000 raise.

The board favors the overcards, pairing both and holds to the end for a double up to Berger.
