APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

With action folded to the blinds, small blind Jin Woo Choi made a raise to 40,000 and Damien Collins shoved all-in for his last 290,000. Choi went into deep thought before he counted the 300,000 from his stack and pushed it beyond the line. Collins showed a formidable 6♥ 6♦ but was an underdog to the 8♦ 8♣ of Choi. The board ran 2♣ K♣ 7♠ 2♠ 3♦ , keeping Choi ahead all the way and ending the Main Event run of Collins.

Taehyun opened the cutoff to 2,800 and Damien Collins called from the small blind.

The two saw a flop come 2♠ 8♦ Q♣ and checked through to see the board-pairing 2♣ turn, where Collins checked the action to Jang, who bet 12,000. Collins dropped in a call after thinking for a while.

The A♣ came on the river, and Collins checked it to Jang again. Jang then shoved all in for around 90,000, sending Collins into the tank. Ultimately, Collins called off his remaining chips. Jang flipped K♥ 7♠ for a bluff and said “Nice call,”. Collins showed a runner-runner flush with T♣ 8♣ .

Taehyun Jang opened from the hijack, drawing three callers: Togtokhbayar Shinekhu on the button, Damien Collins in the small blind, and Eugene Co in the big blind.

The dealer revealed a flop of A♠ 8♠ 5♥ , and all four players checked, keeping the suspense high. When the 2♦ landed on the turn, Collins broke the silence with a 2,500 bet. Shinekhu called, while Jang and Co got out of the way.

On the river 7♣ , Collins fired another bet, prompting Shinekhu to finally fold, letting Collins scoop the pot.
