APPT Main Event ($1,750)

With the action folded to the button of Sumit Supra, the Indian raises it to 1,600 and gets calls from the SB of China’s Pang Junpeng and the BB of another Chinese player in Hao He—one of the current chip leaders.

The flop is A♦ K♦ 3♠ as the blinds check. Supra continues firing, this time for 2,500. Pan folds, but Hao remains interested. It is Heads Up to the turn where the 7♣ appears and Hao checks again. Supra now loads it up to 6,500 and once again gets called. The river is the 9♦ as Hao checks a third time. Supra now bets 13,000. Hao still calls.

Supra turns over J♦ 8♦ for a rivered flush while Hao chooses to muck his hand.

Hao’s stack is still substantial albeit the moderate hit absorbed from the Indian.
