APPT Main Event ($1,650)

Blasting his last 148,000 in the middle, Naoki Watanabe watches the action unfold behind him. David Erquiaga ups it to 300,000 in the SB and Sunghak Lee calls for a second time from the button to see the flop A♠ 3♠ 5♣ . David Erquiaga says he folded jacks when faced with Lee's 286,000 all-in who flips over A♥ J♦ against Watanabe's A♦ 8♣ . The dealer seals the deal with the turn J♣ and an insignificant A♣ on the river to send Naoki Watanabe packing.

With a race before him, Naoki Watanabe jams all in holding A♥ A♠ and is called by initial raiser Sha Chengchun with A♦ Q♦ . No bad beat arrives on the board K♣ 9♣ 4♥ 2♦ 3♣ for a clean double up to Watanabe.

Donghyup Kim re-raises 15,500, Naoki Watanabe calls while initial raiser opts out. On the flop 3♠ 5♠ 2♦ , Kim puts pressure with a 21,500 bet that Watanabe still calls. However, on the turn 7♥ , Kim's big shove is enough to take down the pot without further challenge.
