APPT National ($1,000)

Fresh off a double up, Chao Ting Cheng continues to climb, this time taking a pot off Quang Trinh Do. The hand kicks off with Quang opening to 17,000 from under the gun and Cheng three-betting to 42,000 from cutoff. Quang makes the call to see a flop of Q♥ T♣ T♦ .

Quang check-calls Cheng’s 10,000 continuation bet, then repeats the line on the turn J♦ calling a 35,000 bet, to bring the river 5♠ . With another check from Quang, Cheng reluctantly checks back and shows K♣ Q♠ for two pair to beat Quang’s A♦ 7♦ .

Cheng is ahead with an ace but sweats it as Hong's hand is live. The board runs out 7♥ 2♠ 2♦ 5♥ T♦ giving Cheng a double up.

Adam Lydford dropped in chips when he defended his big blind by calling hijack Aleksandr Diudiaev's jam of 50,000. Lydford's K♦ Q♦ was sorely behind Diudiaev's A♣ A♠ and when the board ran 8♦ J♣ J♥ 4♠ J♦ , he paid the double up.

Dropping to 6 bb, Lydford bounced back immediately with two double ups. The second one was through Chao Ting Cheng with A♣ T♦ pairing up on the river 8♣ K♠ K♣ 5♠ 10h to survive Cheng's 6♥ 6♦ .
