APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Macao’s Gu Huidong is at it again, this time raising from UTG to 2,500. Li Shao Shuai makes the call from the +1 position but then another Chinese player in Luan Haitao 3-bets from the cutoff for 9,200. When it gets folded back to Gu, he 4-bets to 25,400. Li steps aside and Luan stacks off on the call.

Gu shows 9♥ 9♣ while Luan is in a flip with K♦ Q♦ .

The flop immediately switches the favors: K♣ 3♦ 8♠ while the next two community cards didn’t make a difference as the 4♠ and the 4♣ arrived.

The double-up brings Luan closer to the 50,000 chip mark while Gu goes back to five figures.

China’s Li Shao Shuai had the action folded to him on the lowjack and raises to 1,100 while fellow Chinese player Yao Liu makes a 3-bet from the hijack to 3,200. Tony Khoang from the Netherlands proceeds to 4-bet to 10,300.

The two Li and Yao decide to fight another day.
