APPT Main Event ($1,650)

Four bet shove from UTG Nicola Spicher and a call from Zinan Xu in the BB, who is at risk, see the eyes wander to the dealers hands once more.

Nicola Spicher defends his BB with a 70,000 three-bet against SB Zinan Xu bet-calling 40,000. Check-call all the way for Zinan Xu on 5♠ Q♣ 8♦ 4♦ 2♣ , 45,000, 85,000 and 150,000 to muck against Nicola Spicher's K♥ Q♦ .

With 23 fighters left the top spots go to:

A raise and two calls get us to the flop T♦ 8♥ 6♥ with +1 Ronald Haverkamp c-betting 20,000, Zinan Xu tagging along from the button and the BB folding. The turn 5♥ has Ronald Haverkamp check-calling 30,000 and doing the same on the river 8♣, this time for all his chips and showing T♥ 9♥ flush coolered by Zinan Xu's Q♥ J♥ flush.

Min-raising from utg+1, the blinds call Ceesvin Abdulla and they go see a flop 4♥ K♦ 5♥ . Abdulla c-bets 8000 and only small blind Shaoshuai Li wants to play further. Abdulla barrels again, this time for 20,000 on the turn 2♠ , and still Li sticks with him to complete the board 8♣ river. Abdulla fires 48,000 which is enough to win the pot without a showdown.

Lu is way ahead until the river slaps down J♦ to send him packing in brutal fashion.

Cutoff Zinan Xu three-bets 11,000 and initial raiser William Lius calls for a flop 7♠ A♥ A♠ . No bets land and off to the turn 8♥ . Lius bets 20,000, Xu shoves 46,000, Lius can afford it but chooses otherwise and folds.
