APT Main Event (85,000 PHP)

Hao-Shan Huang raised to 3,400 from middle position and received two callers.

Three players saw a flop of 5♥ 5♠ 8♥ roll off, and Toan Truong from the small blind checked the action to Huang, who bet 4,200. Only Truong dropped in a call.

The turn brought the 6♥ , bringing the flush possibilities, and Truong checked over again. Huang then fired a barrel of 14,500 this time, forcing his opponent to fold.

Toan Truong, who already could be seen in a handful of pots today, opened from middle-position and got three-bet by Sungwoo Son in the small-blind to 2,500. Truong did not back down and responded with a four-bet to 7,400. The preflop action did not stop there, as Son for his part raised once more to 15,000. Truong went all-in for his 25,000 and got quickly called.

Toan Truong: A♠ Q♥ Sungwoo Son: A♣ A♥

The flop came down K♥ T♠ 4♠ and Truong's tournament life was in big trouble. The Q♠ on the turn gave the Vietnamese additional straight and trip outs, and indeed he got there with the flush completing 8♠ . While Truong doubled, it was a tough loss for Son who took it like a pro.

Shin Skine opened from early-position and Patrick Wahlquist got along on the button befroe Toan Truong squeezed from the big-blind to 2,200. Both players called and the flop came down J♠ 8♥ 7♥ . Truong continued with a 2,500 bet and only Skine was interested. The board pairing J♣ appeared on the turn and both players elected to check. The river brought the 6♠ and Truong bet out again for 2,300. Skine quickly called and the players tabled their cards.

Toan Truong: A♠ K♦ Shin Skine: A♦ 8♦
