APPT Main Event ($1,750)

The action gets folded to the button where Australia’s Jack Maris makes a raise to 2,400. It gets folded to the SB of Filipino Isaac Hechanova who 3-bets it to 6,900. It gets back to Maris who 4-bet shoves. Hechanova makes the call.

Maris shows 9♣ 9♦ while Hechanova brandishes A♣ A♥ .

The first three cards of the runout are 3♣ 4♦ K♥ but the fourth card is the 9♠ to give the Australian the miracle he hoped for and the last card does not bail Hechanova out as the 7♥ arrives.

Hechanova’s stack dips below six figures while Maris gets a new lease on his tournament life via the fortuitous suck out.

Isaac Hechanova of the Philippines opens from the button for 2,500 and gets a call from Ireland’s Frank Lillis who chooses to defend his BB.

The flop is 6♣ 7♦ J♥ as Lillis checks. Hechanova CBets 2,600 and the Irishman makes the call. The turn is the Q♣ and this time both check. The river card is the 2♠ as now it’s Lillis’ turn to bet for 3,500. Hechanova calls.

Lillis turns over J♦ 8♦ for top air on the flop. The Filipino decides to muck.

From the +1 position, China’s Li Shao Shuai raises to 1,600 and is met with a 3-bet to 4,500 from the hijack of Filipino Isaac Hechanova. It gets folded back to Li who makes the call.

The flop comes J♣ T♣ 3♦ as the Chinese player checks. Hechanova bets 2,700 and Li wants no further quarrel with the Filipino.
