APPT Main Event ($1,650)

Down to his last 6,000 in chips, Calvin Tan of Singapore raises from UTG to 600 and gets re-raised in the HJ by China’s Yao Yadi to 1,800. Tan calls.

The flop is 4♥ 9♥ 6♦ as Tan checks. Yao CBets 800 and gets check-raised all-in by the Singaporean. Yao makes the call.

Tan shows A♠ T♣ while Yao tables 4♠ 4♣ for yet another set against Tan. The last two community cards Q♦ and 2♥.

Out facing back to back sets, Tan still has an opportunity to re-enter, if he chooses.

Calvin Tan of Singapore opens from the +1 position and gets three callers, one of whom is Anthony James from England on the D.

The flop is 6♣ 3♣ T♦ and after a bet by Tan to 1,200, James raises to 10,000 prompting the Singaporean to 3-bet all-in for 32,800 and James calling the rest of his stack worth 26,900. Everyone in the middle of the melee had folded.

Tan turns over K♦ K♠ while to his chagrin, James shows 3♦ 3♥ for a set on the flop.

The last two community cards did nothing to help Tan’s cause: Q♠ 5♦ .

Tan’s stack is now below the 20 BB mark after that cooler.
