APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

On the soft bubble, big stack Vincent Huang opened from the cut-off to 12,000 and got three-bet by Morita Takuya in small-blind to 60,000. Huang made the call and they were off to see a flop of 4♠ 4♦ 2♠ . Not afraid, Takuya put out a continuation bet of 120,000. Huang made call and the turn brought the 9♣ . Takuya moved all-in and got quickly called by Huang.

Morita Takuya: K♥ K♠

Vincent Huang: 2♥ 2♦

Takuya would have needed to either river a four or a king to keep his tournament dreams alive, but the 9♥ appeared on the river, busting the Japanese players just short of the money. Vincent Huang, however, will be in a great position to run deep in the Main Event.
