APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

With only three and a half hours left until registration closes, players are scrambling to build their stacks, and that was the exact scenario for Khanh Linh Tran and Peter Kiem.

The action unfolded with the board completed, and Peter Kiem was all-in for his tournament life.

Peter Kiem: A♠ K♦

Khanh Linh Tran: A♣ Q♦

Kiem had the upper hand with ace-king, but Tran was hoping for a queen to hit and a shot at eliminating Kiem. The flop came down K♠ 4♠ 9♦ , keeping Kiem’s lead intact.

The T♦ turn gave Tran a gutshot straight draw, offering him a glimmer of hope. However, the river T♣ sealed his fate, leaving Tran with just 16 big blinds and a crippled stack.
