APPT National ($1,000)

Avneessh Munjal jumped to the top of the Table 10 counts after railing Won Jong Lee.

Won Jong Lee defends his big blind with a three-bet that's called by Olivier Serrie to bring the pot to 5100 preflop. The dealer spreads 5♥ 9♦ J♦ , and without hesitation, Lee jams 9400 and Serrie calls putting Lee at risk.

Lee tables top pair with J♠ T♣ while Serrie is drawing heavy with multiple outs however none find the turn A♠ and river 5♣ securing Lee the double up.

A cheer erupted as Antonius Krijin spun the bounty wheel and hit the second-largest hidden prize of $6,830, adding a major boost to his 11th place finish. Originally set to take home $1,825, his lucky find increased his total payout to a much sweeter $9,175.

The chase is still on for the top hidden bounty worth $11,000 with ten players remaining.

Sungheon Hong and David Yojiro Baba stare down a flop T♣ Q♣ 8♠ with 6000 already in the pot. Acting first, Hong leads out 3000 and Baba calls. The turn 9♦ sees Hong fire another 3000 bet and once again Baba calls to take them to the river 3♥ . Hong slows down with a check, Baba switches up and bets 2500, and after a brief pause, Hong calls only to muck when Baba reveals A♦ J♦ ace-high.

Sebastien Lapp opened the action with a raise to 11,000 from early position and picked up calls from both blinds, Bien Mai and Aladin Reskallah, to go three-way to a flop of 5♦ K♣ 8♥ . Lapp kept up the pressure with a 3,000 c-bet, and again, both blinds called.

The turn brought the 8♦ , pairing the board. The blinds checked once more, and Lapp repeated his 3,000 bet, getting two more calls. On the river, facing a pot of around 38,000, Lapp took the lead again, this time for 10,000. The pressure finally paid off, as both blinds folded to give Lapp the pot.

Hoa Thinh Nguyen and Dongwk Yeom face off on the river T♥ 5♥ 4♥ J♠ 5♦ with around 15,000 already in the pot. Nguyen checks to Yeom who value-bets 9000, Nguyen calls then mucks to T♠ T♣ full house.

Sitting on a big stack, Jung Su Kim three-bet to 3,700 from hijack, and Minh Thang Tran, who opened from under the gun, made the call to see a flop of K♣ 8♣ A♣ .

Action is checked to Kim, who fired a 4,500 continuation bet. Tran called. Both players tapped the table on the 9♠ turn but when the river landed 7♣ , Kim tossed out a modest 2,000 bet, Tran answered with a check-raise of 15,000, Kim gave it up for Tran to take down the pot without a showdown.

Catching the action on a board showing 8♠ 7♥ 4♣ Q♠ 7♣ with a pot of 35,000 already built up among three players, action checked to Nuno Da Silva Alves, who moved all in for his last 5,300. Quang Trinh Do made the call, but before the hand settled, Jung Su Kim shoved over the top for 27,400.

Unfazed, Quang called again to for a massive three-way showdown. Kim tabled 6♦ 7♦ for trip sevens, both opponents mucked, and Kim scooped the pot.

Sungheon Hong and Nuno Da Silva Alves called a raise to 800 from Jung Su Kim to see a flop of A♣ 7♦ 4♥ . Kim fired a 1100 c-bet, prompting Alves to fold while Hong made the call.

On the 7♣ turn, Kim tapped the brakes with a check, and Hong took the option to bet 2,500. Kim called, leading to the 5♥ river. Kim then led out for 3,500, but Hong came over the top with a raise to 11,200. The pressure was enough for Kim to release his hand, and Hong dragged in the pot.

Three players saw the flop for 700 apiece, with Erik Rozhynskyi kicking off the action. The flop came T♠ 3♣ 5♣, and it quickly narrowed to heads-up as Igor Vakhnenko called a 1,400 c-bet, while Craig Jones stepped aside.

On the 6♠ turn, Rozhynskyi ramped up the pressure with a 6,500 bet, and Vakhnenko stayed in to see the river. The final card 3♦ arrived, and Rozhynskyi went for the jugular, unloading 23,000 into the pot. The aggression paid off as Vakhnenko gave it up, awarding Rozhynskyi a well-earned pot.

Tom Eady picks up a couple of pots to slowly make his way to starting stack. On the first hand, players fold around to him on the button, Eady has A♣ 5♣ and boost the bet to 700. Big blind Maxim Sorokin defends then both players check the flop A♥ 9♦ 2♣ . When the turn comes 2♠ , Eady tosses in a light 600 that's called, and another 1000 bet on the river K♣ that's called once more. Eady flips open his cards and proceeds to claim the pot.

A few hands after, Eady three-bets from middle position and Igor Vakhnenko defends his raise. At the flop 9♥ J♣ K♠ , Eady continues for 5000 and it's enough to drag in the pot.

Both players have the same two pair with Jones holding the better kicker. The river 3♦ keeps Jones ahead to score a double.

Craig Jones has been getting involved in many pots to help drive his stack north but still below starting. He defends his big blind with a three-bet of 2500, initial raiser Tran calls from the button and they see a flop 7♦ 4♠ 6♣ . Jones jumps out for 2000 and it met with a raise of 5000, Jones tosses his cards to the muck.

Quang Trinh Do is back in and quickly puts his chips to work. Catching him in a hand, he raises 600 from under the gun, then two spots over, Jung Su Kim, who has been driving the action at the table, three-bets to 2000. Quang calls and the flop then comes 4♦ 6♦ K♣ . Quang checks to the aggressor Kim who continues the barrage for 2500 but no action from Quang to claim the pot right there.

Ronald Lane has A♣ K♣ and as first-to-act, he makes it 500 that finds a call from Igor Vahknenko down the orbit. Action now moves to the small blind Craig Jones and with just 3000 left he goes all in with 7♦ 7♠ . This gets a quick call from Lane while Vahknenko gets out of the firing line.

After the cards are shown, it's a fifty-fifty that goes Jones's way on a running board 4♦ Q♦ Q♠ 9♣ T♠ .

Jung Su Kim has been grinding successfully and Olivier Serrie decided to put a stop to it. From the button, Serrie calls Kim's 700 raise then jams his last 5300 on the flop 5♠ T♦ 7♣ . That does it as Kim surrenders his hand.

Igor Vakhnenko limped in with Q♣ T♣ then called a raise of 1500 from button Craig Jones. At the flop 7♦ K♣ A♣ , Vahknenko lands a straight flush draw and can't resist check-calling a c-bet of 1700. When the turn comes T♠ , Jones barrels again for 3500 and Vahknenko wants to see if his draw will connect on the river to check-call. The board completes 4♦ . Both players check. Vahknenko misses but has third pair which is surprisingly good for the pot.

Sebastien Lapp opens from early position then calls big blind Quang Trinh Do's three-bet. When the flop comes 5♣ 9♠ 8♣ , Quang continues to fire and Lapp calls again. On the turn T♠ , and nearly half of his stack in the pot, Quang goes all in for his last 10,000 and still doesn't shake off Lapp.

The cards are then flipped. Quang's K♦ K♥ is in trouble against Lapp's T♦ T♣ set. The river 5♠ seals the win for Lapp as Quang speeds off and will likely be re-entering.

Intending to raise only 400, Quang Trinh Do accidentally says 4000 and is forced to toss it in. Cutoff Jung Su Kim calls the big bet and they see a flop land A♦ K♠ 7♦ . Following a check from Quang, Kim overbets 10,000 and wins the pot.

Players start with a deep 30,000 that it's always a surprise to see an early bust but it does happen quite often and happened here just moments ago. On a board showing Q♥ J♦ J♠ 3♠ 6♠ and only 1400 in the pot, big blind Michael Bihari has J♣ 6♦ full house and shoved, Rozhynskyi snap-called. Rozhynskyi flipped open Q♠ Q♦ higher full house to deliver the first bust of the day.
