APPT Main Event ($1,650)

The action opens from UTG with China’s Xu Jijun raising to 1,800 and gets a call from Patrick Selin of Sweden on the BB.

The flop is 9♦ 8♥ T♦ as Selin checks. Xu continues for 1,500 and is greeted with a check-raise shove from his opponent 36,600. Xu makes the call.

Selin shows Q♦ Q♠ for an over apir to the board while Xu flips over J♦ J♣, also for an over pair but also an open-ended straight draw,

The turn is the 5♠ and the river is the 5♦ to have the Swede’s Queens hold and have him obtain a much needed double up. Selin once again nears the 80,000 chip mark.

Kim fails to improve and is sent out as Selin collects the pot.

Sweden’s Patrik Selin from the HJ for 600 and gets two callers, one of which is Henry Rainier Maaninka.

The flop is A♥ 8♦ K♣ as Maaninka checks and Selin continues for 600. One player folds but Maaninka makes the call. It is heads up to the turn as the 4♥ appears. Selin once again fires, this time for 1,000. Maaninka calls. The river is the 4♠ and this time both players check.

Maaninka shows A♦ 3♦ for top pair on the flop but is defeated by Selin’s A♠ Q♠ as the kicker plays.
