APPT Manila Championship (165,000 PHP)

Seokjun Lee made the 10,000 min-raise from under the gun and was called by Brett Bader on the cut-off and Uuganbayar Erdenekhu at the big blind. The three players were shown a flop of 8♥ 3♣ J♥. All three players checked to get a free peek of K♦ on the turn. Action was checked to Bader who counted 18,000 chips and put it on the betting block. Erdenekhu folded, but Lee made the call to see an 8♠ river. Lee checked to Bader, who bet out 26,000. Lee folded and surrendered the pot to Bader.

Heading into desperation mode with the blinds slowly catching up with him, Mongolia's Erdenekhu Uuganbayar swings for the fences and goes all-in from the D for his last 87,000. It is folded to the BB of Thomas Ward and the Aussie burns one Tme Bank card in contemplating his decision. Ward opts to finally call.

Uuganbayar tables A♦ Q♦ dominating Ward's hole cards of A♠ 2♠ .

The flop immediately put matters beyond doubt as it came 8♥ 6♣ Q♣ . The last two community cards were the T♠ 7♠ as Uuganbayar stays relevant with the rising blinds.

Uuganbayar Erdenekhu raised to 1,200 from under the gun with Dk Kunwoo Kim three-betting to 3,500 from the next seat over. Graham Cowan made the call, but Erdenekhu cranked the volume to 14,000. Dk Kunwoo Kim made the cal while Cowan got out of the way. Both players saw a flop of 6♠ 9♠ 9♥. Erdenekhu led out with 12,000 and was called by Kim to see a 4♦ on the turn. Erdenekhu shoved the remaining 19,800 to the middle and was called by Kim with his last 16,700.

Uuganbayar Erdenekhu: A♥ A♣

Dk Kunwoo Kim: J♥ J♦

Erdenekhu looked in great shape to win the pot, but then... A J♣ on the river threw down the bad beat, giving Kim an enormous pot.
