APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

The action unfolded on a completed board with two players' stacks in the center of the felt. Hoang Hai Long was all-in for his tournament life with approximately 400,000 chips and was called by Hyunsick Jang.

Hoang Hai Long: 9♥ 9♠

Hyunsick Jang: A♣ K♦

Long was ahead with his pocket nines on the flop of 8♣ T♥ 3♦ , but the turn Q♣ gave Jang a gutshot straight draw, adding to his outs. In a dramatic twist, the river J♠ completed Jang’s straight, sending Long to the payout counter.

Action folded to the blinds with Hoang Hai Long making the min-raise of 25,000 with A♦ J♦ . Lee Koangho defended the big blind with A♣ 2♣ .

Both players were presented a flop of A♥ 3♥ A♠ , and both flopped top trips.

Both players set their traps with a check to see a 7♦ turn. Long led with 20,000 and Koangho called to see a 2♠ on the river.

Koangho rivered a boat and raised the 50,000 bet of Long to 110,000. Long made the call and was frustrated to see the rivered full house of Koangho.

With some tables already bagging up for the night, Zijing Zhan, facing elimination, moved all-in for about 27,000 from the small blind on a completed board of 3♠ J♠ 5♥ 7♥ 4♦ and awaited Hoang Hai Long's decision. With his own stack at risk of taking a hit, Long carefully weighed his options before finally making the call.

Zijing Zhan: 6♥ 6♣

Hoang Hai Long: A♥ A♦

Zhan had landed a backdoor straight, cracking Long's aces and leaving Long’s stack crippled, down to near the starting level.

The action unfolded on a completed board as Krisada Pinthakasetrin led out with a river bet of 6,600. Hoang Hai Long, sitting on the button, raised it to 14,000. Without hesitation, Pinthakasetrin shoved all-in for his tournament life, and Long snap-called.

Krisada Pinthakasetrin: 9♦ 8♠

Hoang Hai Long: A♥ 7♣

Board: 6♦ 7♥ A♠ 5♥ 5♠

Despite Long holding two pair on the flop, Pinthakasetrin had completed his straight on the turn, giving him the winning hand and the pot. This crucial win keeps him alive in the tournament.
