APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

On the flop of 8♥ 2♦ 9♦ , Nguyen Ngoc Son from the small blind and Pham Duy Anh from the big blind checked it to Peter Kiem from the hijack, who bet 2,200, which Tripoak Worrakrit from the cutoff and Le Thanh Hung on the button stuck around. Son and Anh got out of the way.

The 5♦ fell on the turn, and three players checked through to see the 8♦ drop on the river, where Kiem checked it over, and Worrakrit fired out 2,200, forcing both of his opponents to fold.

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♣

Junqiang Lyu opened to 500 from early-position and Shi Bei called before Le Hung raised it to 2,000. Both players called and the flop came down K♠ Q♣ T♥ . Lyu and Bei checked and Hung continued his aggression with a 2,700 bet. Only Lyu called and they went heads-up to the J♠ turn. No action happened, as both players elected to check.

On the river came the 5♠ and Lyu led out for 1,500. After about a minute of thinking time, Hung made a small raise to 4,000. Lyu called but had to concede the pot after Hung tabled T♣ T♦ . Great value bet by Hung, which not everybody would have found.

Jia Zhu from China opened to 300 from middle-position and Tin Hoang called, before Le Hung raised it to 1,500. Zhu responded with a four-bet to 4,500. Only Hung called and both players saw a flop of T♦ T♣ 5♠ . Zhu continued with a 3,700 bet which Hung called quickly.

The turn brought the third T♠ and the Chinese player slowed down and checked. But not Hung, he bet 10,000 and Zhu threw his hand into the muck.
