APPT Main Event ($1,650)

In dire need of a double up, Japan’s Kentaro Oe goes all-in for his remaining 6,000 and is isolated by Luke Oliber Keay of the United States.

Oe tables A♣ 4♣ while Keay shows 7♥ 7♣.

The flop immediately dashed the hopes of the Japanese player: 3♠ 7♠ A♥ , giving the American middle set. Needing running cards for a miracle comeback, Oe was drawing dead on the turn when the T♠ appeared. The 8♦ on the river officially busted the Japanese player.

Russia’s Artem Vezhenkov raises from UTG and gets three callers, one being Kentaro Oe of Japan in the BB.

The flop comes J♠ T♣ 2♦ and after Vezhenkov CBets for 1,500, gets check-raised by Oe to 5,000 and makes the call, it is heads up to the turn of the 6♥. Oe checks and the Russian once again fires, this time for 5,500. Oe calls. The river is the Q♦ and this time both players check.

Oe flips over K♣ J♣ while Vezhenkov tables K♦ K♥ to take down the huge pot and reduce the Japanese player’s stack to just above 20 BBs.
