APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Jui Tai opened from the cutoff to 3,200 and Norway's Tor Welo shoved for 23,600 from the small blind. When it got back to Tai, he asked for a count, then dropped the call.

Tor Welo: Q♥ J♥

Jun Tai: A♥ 9♦

Welo needed to connect with the board, but it was Tai who kept his lead as the 9♠ 3♦ 8♣ flop gave him a pair of nines. That pair improved to two pair on the A♠ turn, which left Welo drawing to one of the four tens in the deck. Luckily for Welo, the T♦ dropped on the river, which gave him the nuts and doubled up his stack.

With a completed board of 9♠ 5♥ 6♣ J♠ Q♥ , Lee Wee Liew was all-in for 18,100, putting Jui Tai in the hot seat as he deliberated on the call. After some thought, Tai moved his chips to the center.

Lee Wee Liew: Q♣ J♣

Jui Tai: 7♥ 7♦

Liew’s two-pair on the river secured him the double-up, leaving Tai to ponder the outcome.
