APPT Main Event ($1,650)

With a pot of 15,000 in the middle, big blind Yan Yu bets a light 3000 on the flop of J♦ 5♣ Q♦ , button Oliver Schulze thinks it should be more and makes it 11,000 to continue. Yu calls, the turn is 3♠ . Yu checks to Schulze who fires 19,000, again Yu calls. On the river 7♠ , Schulze pushes, this time Yu doesn’t follow suit.

With 14,500 already splashed in the pot Aladin Reskallah check-raises 15,000 on a flop 3♥ 9♣ 9♠ and Yan Yu calls. On the turn 4♣ , Reskallah goes ahead and leads out 25,000, Yu calls, the pot grows further as the river comes 4♠ . Grabbing a chunk, Reskallah bets 125,000 sending Yu to the tanker then wins the pot with Yu not wanting to risk it.

Yu Yan opens the action from the HJ for 1,200 and gets re-raises in the CO for 2,600. France’s Aladin Reskallah calls from the D and so does Yu to see a flop.

That flop is 5♣ 5♦ K♣ YU checks and the payer in the CO bets 2,500. Reskallah calls, but Yu check-raises to 8,000. The player in the CO opts to fold as Reskallah makes yet another call. It is heads up to the turn which is the 6♥. Yu bets 15,000 and the Frenchman still calls. The river is the A♦ as Yu now shoves. Reskallah folds.

The pot now brings Yu’s stack above the 100,000 mark.
