APPT National ($900)

Frank Lillis looks at A♣ K♦ in +2, jams his last 145,000 and isn't happy when Adrien Berger calls and flips over K♥ K♣ from HJ. The dealer has no help in store for Lillis with the board running 3♠ 5♠ Q♦ J♠ 7♣ and hands the pot over to Berger.

Frank Lillis shoves 345,000 with 2♠ 2♥ from the button and gets called by Oliver Schulze with K♦ Q♣ and his remaining 200,000 from BB. The dealer shows 5♣ Q♠ T♦ 6♦ 4♥ giving Schulze top pair and a 430,000 pot along with it.

Michael Falcon continues his aggression with a raise to 55,000 from the SB. Last to act Frank Lillis fills up his BB and we see 8♥ K♦ 7♦ . Falcon's 60,000 c-bet gets called, we see the 4♥ and Falcon's 105,000 bet gets called again for the river T♠ and another 200,000 bet from Falcon. Lillis folds and hands a chunky pot over to the chipleader.

Valeriy Fokin shoves his remaing 35,000 from +1 with button Sunghak Lee and big blind Frank Lillis electing to see the flop. Both check on 9♥ 8♥ Q♠ and Lillis leads the turn 6♣ for 35,000 with Lee calling. The river is the 4♥ , Lillis leads for 60,000 and Lee throws in the towel. Lillis flips over Q♥ 9♦ , eliminating Fokin's K♠ 9♣ .

Frank Lillis opens 10,000 from the HJ, Chin Heng Tan calls from SB, followed by a 78,000 shove from Jean Guillette in the BB. Lillis' 121,000 over shove is enough to isolate and his J♠ J♥ is ahead of Guillette's A♣ J♦ . The board Q♦ K♦ 6♠ 6♣ 5♥ does not see Guillette improve with Lillis doubling up.

Kyle Bao Diep calls Frank Lillis's open shove of 22,500 and flips over 2♥ 2♠ . Lillis has A♦ 9♥ for a flip. The window card is an ace as the board runs A♥ T♥ Q♥ 8♣ T♦ . Lillis collects his double up.
