Terence Navales kicked off the action with a 6,000 raise from under the gun, only to be met with an aggressive three-bet to 22,000 from Joemark Vasay immediately to his left.

After the rest of the table folded, Navales decided to go all-in for 76,000, putting his tournament life on the line. Vasay snap-called, eager to see the showdown.

Terence Navales: Ad Ah

Joemark Vasay: As Ks

Navales watched intently as the dealer revealed the flop: 6h 5s T♦ . With no help for Vasay, the turn brought a Q♣ , and the river completed the board with an 8♥ .

The aces held strong, and Navales celebrated as the pot was pushed his way.

Joemark Vasay limped in from the small blind and Teng Yang Hoo defended from the big blind.

Both read the 8♣ 5♦ 8♥ flop, and the action went check-check. The two saw the A♦ land on the turn, where Vasay bet 3,000 and Hoo dropped in a call.

The river brought a 5♥ and Vasay checked the action to his opponent. Hoo then bet 8,000 only to face a raise to 16,000 from Vasay. After tanking for a long time, Hoo made the call to take it to a showdown. Vasay tabled K♦ 9♣ for a bluff and conceded the pot as Hoo flipped two pair with A♣ 4♣ .
