APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Joseph Cheong opened from early-position, which got answered by a three-bet to 8,000 from Benjamin Kim. Edgar Antezana on the button put in a cold four-bet to 25,000. Kim called and both players went to the flop, which came down J♣ 6♥ 3♠ . Both players elected to check.

The turn brought the K♠ and Kim checked once more. Antezana bet out 25,000, but that was not enough for Kim who raised it up to 110,000. The South African Antezana responded with a quick all-in, which Kim likewise snapped it off.

Edgar Antezana: K♥ K♣

Benjamin Kim: J♥ J♠

Kim was left with only one out, which did not arrive on the river. What a massive cooler, which probably made Antezana the chip leader of Day 1a of the Main Event.
