APPT Main Event ($1,750)

Opening the action from UTG, Korea’s Hong Sungheon continues his aggressive ways by raising to 200 but is met with resistance as Ira Blumenthal of France counters with a 3-bet from the button for 700. Hong calls.

The flop is T♣ T♥ A♦ as Hong checks. Blumenthal CBets 1,100 and Hong heads for the hills.

The action is folded to the blinds where Korea’s Hong Sungheon raises from the SB to 500 and gets called by Johnni Nielsen of Sweden in the BB.

The flop comes J♣ 7♣ T♦ as Hong barrels again, this time for 600. Nielsen calls. The turn is the 3♦ and the Korean is unrelenting, firing 2,500. Nielsen still sticks around. The river is the Q♥ and this time, Hong unloads 9,000. The Swede surrenders.
