APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Players are on a 15-minute break. 52 players are still playing until there are 48 qualifiers left who will advance to Day 4 of The APT Manila Main Event. All 57 players are guaranteed at least a payout of PHP 265,000 ($4,505).

Some of the recent eliminations were:

Seungyong An opened the cutoff to 3,200 only to be jammed by Junwoo Lee from the button. An called.

Junwoo Lee: J♣ J♥

Seungyong An: A♣ Q♠

An took over the lead from Lee on the flop of 2♣ 5♠ A♦ with a pair of aces. Soon the dealer delivered a dry runout of T♠ 2♥ , which sent Lee to the exit.

Seungyong An opened the cutoff to 1,200 and Ngoc Cao defended from the big blind.

Both saw the monotone flop of 2♦ J♦ 4♦ and checked through to see a 6♥ fall on the turn, where Cao bet 1,700 and An called.

The river brought the T♥ . Cao fired out 5,000 this time, but it didn’t deter his opponent from making the call. Cao tabled 9♣ 5♠ , which was no match for An’s flopped flush with A♦ T♦ .
