APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Do Vu opened from middle-position and got three-bet by Mingcong Chen next to him. Vu called and the players saw the flop consisting of 7♦ 6♣ 2♣ . Vu checked and Chen continued with a 60,000 bet, which Vu called.

The 7♣ went without any action, as both players checked. River came the 5♥ and Vu checked once more. Chen thought about it for a few seconds before announcing all-in, covering Vu's 400,000 chips. Without missing a heartbeat Vu called.

Do Vu 8♦ 8♠

Mingcong Chen: T♠ 9♠

Vu celebrated his hero call energetically. In the last level of the day he put himself in a great spot for tomorrow's Day 3.

On the flop of 3♦ 8♥ 7♣ , players checked through to see the 8♣ fall on the turn, where Thanh bet 2,200, and this was enough to make the other three players toss their cards into the muck.
