APPT Main Event ($1,750)

With the task of posting the BB and the ante looming, APPT Main Event runner-up Kim Donghyup of Korea places his remaining stack of 7,400 in the middle UTG and gets an isolation shove on the button from Japan’s Takashi Hirukawa—also among the late casualties in Day 1A action yesterday.

Kim turns over 7♣ 5♣ which are live against Hirukawa’s A♣ Q♣ .

The first three community cards are 4♠ J♠ 4♥ and then the turn gives the Korean a sliver of hope as the 3♠ arrived for additional outs to a gutshot. However, the river card is the J♣ as the Japanese player prevails with ace high and sends Kim heading back to the registration area.

This time around, his first bullet lasted longer.
