APPT Main Event ($1,650)

Battle of the blinds begins light with a friendly limp that's checked. On the flop Q♣ 3♠ A♦ , small blind Fabrice Ho test-bets 1000, and big blind Kien Tat Heng calls. Ho likes the turn 2♥ and makes it 3100 but Kien opts out for a good pot to Ho.

With the action folded to the blinds, New Caldonia’s Fabrice Ho raises to 2,100 from the SB and gets a defense from Kien Tat Heng of Singapore.

The flop is 2♠ T♠ 9♠ as Ho continues firing, this time for 3,500 and gets the call from the Singaporean. The turn is the 9♦ and this time, the New Caledonian checks. Kien then proceeds to unload a bet of 6,500. Ho calls. The river is the 6♦ as once again Ho checks. Kien empties the clip and goes all-in. Ho does not make the call.

Ari Kumpumaki ploughs down the streets starting with a 1200 raise that's called by the big blind. When the board completes 3♠ 2♠ J♥ 5♥ A♥ , Kumpumaki bets 1500, 3700 and 5700, Ho check-calls throughout then mucks to Kumpumaki's J♣ J♦ .
