APT Main Event

Blind versus blind Keijiro Shimojo was put all-in on the river by William Teoh in the small-blind. By this time there were around 65,000 in the middle and Shimojo had 58,000 in his stack. The board read J♣ T♦ 5♦ 4♦ A♣ and it took Shimojo multiple minutes of consideration time as a wrong call would have meant the end of his tournament life. In the end he did decide to call.

Keijiro Shimojo: J♠ T♠

William Teoh: 5♥ 7♦

Nice call by Shimojo's who doubles up while at the same time decimating Teoh's stack.

William Teoh opened the hijack to 4,000 and Ryosuke Tomuro defended from the big blind.

Both read the 7♣ 2♠ J♥ flop, and Tomuro checked the action to Teoh, who then bet 5,500. Tomuro called.

The A♦ fell on the turn, where Tomuro checked over again. Teoh fired out 11,000 and Tomuro snap-called to see the river bring a 4♥ , which Tomuro kept his strategy and checked to his opponent. Teoh bet a barrel of 40,000, forcing Tomuro to much his hand.

This week just keeps getting better and better for William Teoh. Not only did the Malaysian player win the APT Super High Roller, he has also just picked pocket aces early on Day 2 of the Main Event.

A preflop-raising battle ensued between Teoh and Mongolia's Munkh Ganbold, which resulted in the latter getting his stack of around 70,000 into the middle.

Munkh Ganbold: Q♣ Q♥

William Teoh: A♥ A♠

Ganbold couldn't believe his eyes, and the runout of 5♦ 5♣ 4♦ 2♣ A♠ meant he was eliminated, as Teoh improved to a full house.

"When I saw the aces, I thought why again? Like seriously,"

"Dealer, seriously?!" said an amused Teoh, who probably doesn't mind being dealt premium hands all the time, and now has around 250,000 chips in his stack.

William Teoh shoved all in from small blind for 12,600 and Daniel Tighe defended from the small blind.

William Teoh: 7♦ 7♠

Daniel Tighe: A♣ Q♦

The clean board rolled off 3♣ 4♦ 9♦ 5♦ 8♣ , helping nothing to Tighe, wlhich meant Teoh schooped a much-needed double up through Tighe.

Ryosuke Tomura opened for 2,400 and was re-raised by Edgar Asehan to 7,000. William Teoh, on the button, called the 7,000, but Tomura responded with a four-bet to 24,000, prompting Asehan to fold. Teoh, facing elimination, shoved all-in, and Tomura quickly called.

William Teoh: K♣ Q♦

Ryosuke Tomura: K♥ K♠

The flop revealed A♥ A♣ 6♣ , prompting Asehan to groan in regret, muttering, “I would have won that!” The turn and river came 4♣ 6♠ , sealing Teoh's fate as he began packing up his stuff.
