APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Raising from UTG, Canada’s Somphone Ung makes it 1,000 to go and the action gets folded to the button where Ye Zhifan of China makes the call. Australia’s Daniel Nielsen joins the fun.

The flop is J♠ 4♣ 8♠ as Ung continues firing, this time for 1,600. Ye calls and Nielsen folds. The turn brings in the 3♥ as Ung bets 3,000 which still gets a call from the Chinese player. The river card is the 5♥ as now both players opt to take it to showdown.

Ung shows A♦ 5♦ for a pair on the river while Ye turns over Q♠ J♣ for top pair on the flop that withstood all the bombardment from the Canadian.
