APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Lee Koangho pushed all in for 875,000 from the hi-jack and Pham Ngoc Quoc Bao jammed his stack from the small blind just to make sure the big blind wouldn't join in.

Lee Koangho: A♣ Q♦

Pham Ngoc Quoc Bao: J♦ J♣

Bao was ahead pre-flop and maintained the lead when the flop of 5♣ 9♣ 5♥ arrived. The turn 5♦ put a choke hold on Koangho's tournament life and the river 3♠ finally ended him.

Bao's huge win brought him to the top of the chip lead in the feature table. Koangho, meanwhile, finished his Main Event run and can catch the sunset on the beach.

A total of 753 entries made up the four Day 1 flights with an additional 42 more entered just before Day 2 started for a final total of 795 registrants. A total of 334 hopefuls began the Day 2 leg, competing to survive through ten (10) 60-minute levels and advance to Day 3 of the APT Phu Quoc Main Event to earn a payout from the VND 25,000,000,000 (USD 1,000,000) guaranteed prize pool.

When the day came to a close, there were 50 players remaining. Each of them are guaranteed a payout of VND 87,500,000 (USD 3,345), but all eyes are on the grand prize of VND 4,710,000,000 (USD 185,430) that comes with a prestiigous APT Golden Lion Trophy.

Sitting at the chip leader throne with the largest stack at the end of the day was Nghiem Xuan Thieu of Vietnam with 1,703,000 chips. Fellow countryman Do Tien Vu occupied the seat next to him with 1,547,000 chips while China's Jinlong Hu filled the last podium seat with 1,523,000. Hu started Day 2 as the chip leader and still maintained the right course to land him among the top three.

Other notables to make it through include the Philippines' David Erquiaga who bagged a top ten stack of 1,154,000, and Australia's Dylan Foster who will be hoping to spin his 602,000 stack up in an attempt to make an eighth career APT final table.

Among those with top stacks to begin the day, but failed to advance to Day 3 were Dylan Foster, Noparat Kongjai, Angunsri Suchart and Nevan Chang - who busted at the bubble at the same time as Cao Tran Ngoc.

The double-bubble Chang and Ngoc chopped the 119th place payout, gaining some consolation.

The remaining 118 players who made it to the payout circle still continued to compete until the 10-levels were done for the day with a field of 50 still in contention.

Day 3 resumes at the 11:30am local time (GMT+7) and will play down until a final table is formed or if ten 60-minute levels are concluded - whichever comes first.

MAIN EVENT DAY 2 TOP TEN STACKS

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.
