APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Ramdrick Aznar opened the cutoff to 3,000 and Redentor Edoc defended from the big blind.

Both players saw a flop of 9♠ K♦ 7♦ and checked through to see a 9♦ fall on the turn, where Edoc bet 2,700. However, it didn’t deter Aznar from putting in a raise to 7,300. Edoc then shoved all in and Aznar called.

Redentor Edoc: 6♦ 8♦

Ramdrick Aznar: A♦ 3♦

Aznar picked up the lead with a turned ace-high flush, leaving Edoc a small chance to win the pot. The dealer quickly delivered a 6♣ on the river, setting the tone for Edoc’s elimination.

Carlos Chang opened the action with a raise to 1,500, which drew calls from both Redentor Edoc in the small blind and Jessie Leonarez in the big blind.

The flop came down 4♠ 4♣ 9♣ , and Chang continued with a bet of 3,000. Edoc called, while Leonarez opted to fold.

When the turn brought the 9♥ , Edoc took the initiative, leading out with a bet of 5,500, which Chang called.

The river revealed the 7♣ , prompting Edoc to fire another bet of 5,100. Once again, Chang made the call. Edoc then revealed his hand: J♦ 4♦ for trips on the flop, forcing Chang to muck his cards in defeat.

Redentor Edoc raised from unnder the gun to 1,000 and recived two callers, Sergius Santos from the cutoff and Enrico Moscal on the button. However Chun Wong re-raised to 1,100 from the big blind, which the other three players stuck around.

On the flop of 8♥ 2♦ 5♥ , Wong and Edoc checked the action to Santos, who then bet 2,000. This time only Wong dropped in a call to see a 3♣ turn, and the action went check-check.

An A♣ landed on the river, prompting a bet of 6,500 from Wong, which forced Santos to toss his cards into the muck.
