APPT Manila Championship (165,000 PHP)

Chan Truong raised to 3,000 from UTG +1 and found two callers at the hi-jack and the button before small blind Khoa Anh Ngo pumped it up to 24,800 for all his chips. Truong re-raised all-in to isolate and the hi-jack and button obliged by staying away.

Chan Truong: A♥ K♦

Khoa Anh Ngo: K♠ J♠

Board 7♠ Q♣ J♦ 2♦ 3♠

Ngo was dominated, but the jack on the flop made a great overtake to double-up.

Dohwan Kim limped from the cut-off and then called when Khoa Ang Ngo shoved all-in for the remaining 34,900.

Dohwan Kim: A♠ J♠

Khoa Ang Ngo: K♣ Q♥

Board 5♠ 6♦ 9♣ 3♦ ks

The king on the river gives Ngo top pair to stay alive and double up.

Khoa Anh Ngo min-raised from under the gun with Patrick Clarke making the call from the button. When Dohwan Kim re-raised to 11,500 at the big blind, it was only Clarke who made the call. Both players entered a flop of 8♣ 4♦ 6♥. Kim c-bet for 8,500 which Clarke called to see a 5♠ turn. Kim checked his option, giving Clarke the chance to bet out 22,000. Kim folded.

Patrick Clarke made it 800 to play from under the gun with Khia Ngo calling from the cut-off and John Matsuda defending from the big blind. The three players enter a flop of A♣ 7♦ 7♣. Action is checked around to see an 8♥ turn. Action is checked to Clarke, who fires out 1,000 with both players calling to see an 8♠ river. Option is checked once again to Clarke who puts in 2,500 to the pot, but doesn't get any callers this time around.
