APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Taiwan’s Bo Su raises it up from UTG to 5,000 ad gets calls from Kim Donghyup of Korea in the hijack and Englishman/Monster Stack Craig Jones in the BB.

The flop goes 5♣ K♣ T♦ as Jones checks. Bo continues firing for 9,000 and gets a call from Kim. Jones exits. It is Heads Up to the turn that produces the 9♠ . Unrelenting, Bo unloads 20,000. Kim still makes the call. T♥ river card is the 2♥ as the Taiwanese player barrels again, this time for 62,000. Kim folds.

Bo flashes Q♥ J♣ for a made straight on the turn.

With the task of posting the BB and the ante looming, APPT Main Event runner-up Kim Donghyup of Korea places his remaining stack of 7,400 in the middle UTG and gets an isolation shove on the button from Japan’s Takashi Hirukawa—also among the late casualties in Day 1A action yesterday.

Kim turns over 7♣ 5♣ which are live against Hirukawa’s A♣ Q♣ .

The first three community cards are 4♠ J♠ 4♥ and then the turn gives the Korean a sliver of hope as the 3♠ arrived for additional outs to a gutshot. However, the river card is the J♣ as the Japanese player prevails with ace high and sends Kim heading back to the registration area.

This time around, his first bullet lasted longer.

Last year’s APPT Main Event runner-up is looking to minimize his use of bullets as he utilized three in yesterday’s Day 1A.

Korean Kim Donghyup is in the BB and when the action folds to the SB of Switzerland’s Dinesh Alt, it is just completed. Kim announces a raise to 2,800 which is still called by Alt.

The flop goes 7♥ 3♣ A♦ as Alt checks. Kim continues for 2,000 and Alt folds.
