APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Opening from UTG for 6,000 is Charlie Chiu from Taiwan and when the action gets folded around to the SB of China’s Zheng Xiaosheng, he goes over the top all-in for his remaining stack of 57,500. Chiu makes the call.

Zheng flips over A♣ J♣ while Chiu shows 6♣ 6♠ . Zheng is once again holding overcards against a made pair, the same situation that got him crippled a few hands back.

The flop instantly dashed the Chinese player’s hopes: 2♦ 6♥ T♦ . Needing running cards for a straight, a sweat card arrived when the turn produced the Q♣ . However, the river was the 5♣ and Zheng bids farewell to his fellow players as he is officially bounced from Day 1A action.

Chiu’s stack now approaches the 200,000 mark.
