APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Min Sung Lee pushed around his big stack in a Button vs Big Blind against Kwok Chun Yip. When Yip checked on the flop, Lee pushed a stack to put Yip all-in. Yip folded and looked down at only 3,500 chips.

On the next hand, Yip put is 2,500 big blind, leaving a solitary 1K chip in front of him. Action fell to Jeonghoon Park at the cut-off, who raised to 11,500. When it was Yip's turn, he called his last 1,000 all-in.

Yip turned over a T♣ 2♦ against a very strong A♠ K♥ . The flop came 6♣ 8♠ J♦ with Park's big slick saying ahead. The Q♦ on the turn gave Yip 7 outs and hit one on the river when the 9♦ completed his straight. Yip had his bag in his hand and was all set to leave, but was called back to his seat again.

"Please don't mention my name.," he said to me. I pined in, "You know if you win the whole thing, this is the momemnt where it starts."

A few hands after, Yip raised 15,000 from the cut-off and stole some blinds.

Who knows - that could be the turning point.

The action was picked up when a board rolling off K♣ A♣ 5♦ T♥ T♠ with around 7,500 chips in the middle. Jeonghoon Park bet 5,500 from the small blind and Min Sung Lee snap-called from the big blind.

After Park tabled runner-runner trips with T♣ 9♣ , Lee immediately tossed his card into the muck and relinquished the pot.
