APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Khunshagai Altankhuyag opened the button to 60,000 and was quickly three-bet by Sung Jin Yun in the small blind to 200,000. Once it got back to Altankhuyag, he called.

They went to a flop of 5♣ 4♠ K♣ where the rest of the chips went in the middle, which left Altankhuyag at risk for around 300,000.

Khunshagai Altankhuyag: A♣ 9♣

Sung Jin Yun: K♠ T♠

Altankhuyag had picked up a flush draw and still had an overcard he could spike. The Mongolian played did make a pair on the 9♦ turn, but it still wasn't enough to take the lead. With only one more shot at survival, Altankhuyag couldn't make it happen as the 8♠ river meant he was eliminated, as Yun's stack climbed to around 1,700,000.

A♠ the day neared its end, Ronnie Tate found himself all-in for his tournament life against Jeong In Jang. The table atmosphere was lighthearted, with players covering Tate’s eyes and playfully calling him "Shaquille" or "Lebron" as he awaited his fate.

Ronnie Tate: A♣ A♦

Jeong In Jang: A♥ K♥

The flop came down K♣ 5♣ 8♦ , giving Jang a pair but keeping Tate’s aces in the lead. The turn J♦ and river 2♠ sealed the win for Tate, and the table cheered, jokingly declaring “Lebron” victorious. Tate laughed as he scooped up his well-earned chips.
