APT Main Event

Over on Table #40, Yohwan Lim, Patrick Clarke, Grant Gardner, and Mike Takayama are all battling with each other.

In the latest hand, Grant Gardner made it 2,500 on the button and Mike Takayama called out of the small blind.

They went to a flop of Q♥ 8♦ 2♠ where Takayama checked, Gardner bet 2,200, Takayama raised to 9,000, and Gardner quickly folded.

Despite that minor setback, Gardner still sits with a healthy stack of around 90,000. Takayama is also approaching the six-figure mark. Will we see any of these names at the top of the pack at the end of Level 10...only time will tell.

Yohwan Lim was all-in for 22,600 on a flop of J♥ 4♥ 6♣ , matched by Kunwoo Kim with 37,000 already committed. Both waited as Bien Mai, who covered both, deliberated over his own hand following his initial 3,500 bet. After some thought, Mai folded, leaving Kim and Lim to go heads-up to showdown.

Yohwan Lim: Q♣ J♠

Kunwoo Kim: A♦ J♣

Both had paired the jack, but Kim held the stronger hand with his ace kicker. The turn 6♠ and river 5♦ provided no help for Lim, who was eliminated as Kim collected the pot.
