APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

After just praising Le Hung, he might have blundered some chips away shortly after. We picked up the action on the turn where Hung bet 8,000 into a pot of around 17,000. The board read T♠ 5♠ 6♦ J♦ . Sitting in position Bui Duc Manh raised it to 16,500. Hung called and quickly moved all-in on the 8♦ river for Duc's effective 10,300. Manh Duc called equally quickly.

Bui Duc Manh: T♦ T♥

Le Hung: A♣ Q♣

Tin Hoang started the action with a limp from middle-position. Manh Duc on the button made it 500, and Ruihan Cheng and Hoang called. On 8♠ 4♣ 2♣ the preflop limper Hoang led out for 600. Duc raised it to 1500, and Cheng and Hoang called.

The turn brought the 6♦ . Cheng checked and Hoang continued his betting with a 10,000 chips bet. The button got out of the way, but the big-blind Cheng moved all-in for 35,300. After a few seconds of deliberation time, Hoang decided to call, barely covering Cheng.

Ruihan Cheng: 5♣ 3♣

Tin Hoang: 4♥ 2♥

The river bricked out and Cheng won the first big pot of the day with his straight.
