APPT Main Event ($1,650)

Heading into a raised pot with only France’s Aladin Reskallah in the CO and Felix Von Rahden of Germany remaining, that flop comes 7♠ 2♠ 3♣ as Reskallah checks. Von Rahden bets 3,200 and is called. The turn is the T♣ and this time, both check. The river is the 8♥. Now, the Frenchman bets 6,600 and is met with a raise all-in for 41,000. Reskallah makes the call.

Von Rahden tables A♦ K♣ while Reskallah rivered the card he needed and shows A♣ 8♣ . Von Rahden has been bounced from the tournament and is still eligible for a re-entry.

The action begins with Japan’s Tetsuya Tsujisaka raising from the +1 position to 600 and gets calls from fellow Japanese player Tomoaki Miura in the HJ and Felix Von Rahden of Germany in the BB.

The flop comes 6♠ 9♦ 5♣ as Von Rahden and the initial raiser Tsujisaka check. Miura leads for 500 and both his opponents call. The turn is the 2♦ as once again it is checked to Miura who again bets, this time for 2,600. Von Rahden folds, but Tsujisaka stays sticky. The river is the 3♣ and as Tsujisaka checks, Miura unloads 2,800. It’s enough to get the job done as Tsujisaka folds.
