APPT Main Event ($1,650)

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.

Arthur Eldin is on a rush picking up pot after pot and sending his challengers tanking. Before Table 3 broke, Eldin went head to head against Christopher Mateo and Donghyup Kim.

Up against Mateo, an 80,000 pot was brewed by the turn 8♣ J♥ T♥ 8♦ . Eldin bet half pot and Mateo flatted. On the river 5♠ , Eldin bet 90,000 and again Mateo called. Eldin flipped open 8♥ 2♥ and collected the pot.

Moving over to Table 2, a pot of 270,000 was built by the river board 5♥ 6♣ 2♠ 3♣ Q♦ . Eldin fired 125,000 and Donghyup Kim tank-folded.

Arthur Pierre Eldin starts small with 25,000 in +1, BB Jean Testa shoves his remaining 110,000 with Q♠ Q♣ , gets called by Eldin's 7♦ 7♥ and the dealer delivers the bad news for Testa by flipping over 6♥ J♠ 2♥ 7♣ 4♥ , cracking the queens and sending him to the rail.

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

UTG Arthur Eldin raises to 10,000 with a call by Huseyin Akgul on the button to see the flop 6♥ 4♦ 8♦ . Akgul tests the waters with a 15,000 bet when checked to him and we see the turn K♣ and a double check to the river 3♦ . Akgul slides 60,000 in the middle, Eldin goes in the tank and lets it go after losing two time banks.

Andrei Eldin and Woojin Kim join a raiser to go hunting and check the board to the turn 9♦ 9♠ 5♠ 2♥ . Acting first, Kim bets 3500, and only Eldin calls. On the river Q♦ , Kim sends out 15,000, Eldin calls with less behind and shows Q♥ J♣ which in turn denies Kim who shows A♣ 6♦ bluff.
