APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Matthew Russell of Australia opens from the +1 position for 600 and gets called by Ireland’s Patrick Clarke in the hijack, Gu Huidong of Macau, China in the SB and Vietnamese player Le Buu Nghia I the BB.

The flop shows 2♠ 2♣ J♥ as all four players opt to check. The turn is the 3♥ as Gu checks. Le now leads out for 1,500 as Russell folds. Clarke makes the call and Gu steps aside. It is now Heads Up to the river where the J♦ appears. Le bumps it up to 6,000 as Clarke tanks and consequently decides to fold.

Clarke’s stack drops to just over 10,000.
