Tran Rivers Straight for Championship; Nehadeva Takes Runner-Up - $155,225

Level 30: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000
Tran Rivers Straight for Championship; Nehadeva Takes Runner-Up - $155,225

Heads-Up #27: Hai Ha Tran open-shoved all-in from the button and was called by Somashekar Kurkhepally Nahadeva, who was risking his tournament life for the championship.


Somashekar Kurkhepally Nahadeva: 7 7


Hai Ha Tran: J 7


Nehadeva, ahead and hoping for a double-up, was praying his pocket sevens would hold. He maintained his lead on the flop, which came T 5 8, but Tran gained more outs with a gut-shot straight draw. The 2 turn did nothing to change the situation, offering Nehadeva some relief.


However, his hopes were dashed as the 9 fell on the river, completing Tran's straight and crowning him the champion of the APPT Cambodia Main Event, while Nehadeva had to settle for the runner-up position.

Minh Thang Tran Falls In 4th as Nahadeva’s Kicker Holds - $65,620

Level 29: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000
Tran Minh Thang

Tran Minh Thang went all-in on the button for 615,000 of his remaining chips and was called by Somashekar Kurkhepally Nahadeva, putting Thang at risk.


Tran Minh Thang: A 3


Somashekar Kurkhepally Nahadeva: A T


Nahadeva had Thang dominated. The flop came A 2 4, giving both players a pair of aces, but Nahadeva held the better kicker. The turn Q didn’t help Thang, and the A river only strengthened Nahadeva’s lead, sending Thang to the rail in 4th place.

Nahadeva's Bluff Falls Short

Level 29: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

With the new level, Hai Ha Tran shoved all-in from the small blind and got no callers.


Then Ngoc Minh Le raised to 200,000 and was called by Somashekar Kurkhepally Nahadeva in the big blind. After a check, Le made a continuation bet of 160,000 on the 7 A 9 flop. Nahadeva called to see the A turn, which both players checked.


Nahadeva bet 400,000 on the 2 river, and Le called Nahadea showed a busted gut-shot straight draw against Le's 9 8.


There was no further action after that, with Le getting a walk, Tran Minh Thang failing to get callers with his all-in shove, and Nahadeva taking down the pot with no contest after a raise. He did it again when he shoved all-in on Thang, who had limped in from the small blind.
