APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Jean Philippe Testa of France opens from UTG for 1,500 and is greeted by a 3-bet from England’s Guy Taylor on the button for 3,500. From the SB, however, Kyle Bao Diep of Vietnam 4-bets it to 8,500 as Testa 5-bet shoves all-in for 30,000. Taylor folds while Bao calls for his tournament life.

Testa flips over A♥ Q♥ while Bao shows Q♦ Q♣ .

The Frenchman missed his three-outer on the subsequent runout: 7♦ 3♦ 2♠ 2♦ 5♣ as the Vietnamese player doubles up and Testa sees his chips reduced to below the starting stack.

French grinder Fabian Rolli had already outflopped England’s Guy Taylor. Rolli moved all-in after a series of preflop raises and got called by Taylor who tables Ace Queen after Rolli turned over Ace Ten .

The flop gave the lead to the Frenchman as it came T 5 2 but then a Jack came on the turn and the miracle came to pass on the river when a King arrived to dash Rolli’s first bullet.

Taylor’s stack now goes above the 80,000 mark.
