APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Mingcong Chen opened from the hi-jack to 2,400 and got called by Quang Kiem Nguyen. Mikael Andersson in the small blind had other plans and raised the ante to 10,000. Not being able to take the heat, Chen folded. Quang Nguyen called, to see a flop.

Andersson led out with 9,000 on the flop of 7♦ 2♥ 7♥ which Quang Nguyen called.

Slowing a bit, on the turn 6♠ , Andersson checked allowing Quang Nguyen to shove all-in for his tournament life, which Andersson called.

Quang Kiem Nguyen: K♥ T♥

Mikael Andersson: 8♣ 8♥

Andersson had two-pair with the paired board but Quang Nguyen had a flush draw and two over cards to draw too.

Alas, it was not to be. The dealer dealt 2♦ finishing his run so close to the end of the day.

Quang Kiem Nguyen opened to 2,500 from the cut-off, and was met with a call from Nang Quang Nguyen, the tournament chip leader, who sat in the big blind.

The flop came down: 5♣ K♦ J♥ . Nang Nguyen checked to Quang Nguyen, who bet 2,500. Nang Nguyen called.

The action heated up on the turn, 8♣ , when Quang Nguyen fired 9,000 into the pot. Nang Nguyen responded with a dramatic all-in shove for nearly 300,000, forcing Quang Nguyen to go all-in himself, putting his tournament life at risk.

Quang Kiem Nguyen: 8♥ 5♥

Nang Quang Nguyen: A♥ K♥

Nang Nguyen caught top-pair on the flop while Quang Nguyen hit bottom pair which improved on the turn. The 4♠ didn't change Quang Nguyen's lead giving him a double up from the huge stack of Nang Nguyen
