APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

The all-in button was in front of Seung Hoon Lee along with about 36,000 of his chips at risk. The pot in the middle was just a little over 40,000, grown from pre-flop re-raises and a heavy bet after the turn action. The board showed K♦ 7♥ 3♥ 8♣ 8♠ and Mariano Dela Pena was in deep thought. Dela Pena covered Lee's stack, but he just couldn't make the call.

Lee showed the 8♥ 8♦ as the chips were being shipped his way.

Hi-jack Seung Hoon Lee and big blind Mariano Dela Pena made an agreement of 900 to see a flop of 7♣ Q♥ 7♦ Dela Pena check-called the 1,200 bet of Lee to see a T♠ on the turn. Both checked it, then passed up again on the river when an A♣ made both players nervous.

Lee flipped over K♠ K♣ while Dela Pena showed Q♦ T♥ . The kings of Lee proved to be the winning hand.

Seung Hoon Lee, who earlier won a pot after mucking his cards, has been on a bit of a downtrend since then and had shoved his stack of around 6,000, and was put at risk by Benjamin Mangaliman.

Seung Hoon Lee: A♥ J♣

Benjamin Mangaliman: A♠ K♠

Lee didn't look too confident, and rightfully so as the runout of 7♥ Q♣ A♦ 6♥ 2♦ meant he was out-kicked by his opponent, which sent him for an early shower.

Juhyung Son opened from under the gun and got called by Seung Hoon Lee from middle position, Hyeontae Sim in the small blind, and Benjamin Mangaliman in the big blind.

On the flop of 2♠ Q♥ T♣ , it checked to Lee, who fired 1,500, which only Sim called.

Both then checked the A♦ turn and 4♦ river to showdown, where Sim showed K♠ T♠ for a pair of tens, then Lee mucked. But, after mucking his cards, Lee grabbed them back from the middle of the table and turned them over to reveal Q♠ 7♠ for a pair of queens — the winning hand.

Sim seemed a bit confused at what just happened, but instead of kicking up a fuss, he allowed the pot to be pushed to Lee.
