APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Duy Nguyen Hoang raised to 42,000 from the cut-off with a hand of Q♥ Q♦ : Quang Trung Dinh defended the big blind with a hand of K♣ 5♣ .

The flop came Q♠ 8♣ 3♣ giving Hoang a set and also giving Dinh a flush draw. Dinh check-called Hoang's 30,000 bet to see a 8♠ turn.

Dinh checked his option and Hoang fired a an affordable 65,000 for his full-hose. Dinh called to see a river despite drawing dead.

The river K♠ came giving Dinh a king top-pair - or so it would seem. Dinh tapped his option to Hoang who led with 200,000 and Dinh called to discover his misfortune when Hoang flipped over his wonderful boat.

Hoang now is the featured table chip leader.

Action folded to Motoyoshi Okamura on the dealer button who made a min-raise to 32,000 with Quang Trung Dinh defending the big blind.

Okamura had 6♦ 6♣ in his hand and made a set on the flop of 7♥ 6♥ J♦ Okmaura fired 40,000 and Dinh made a quick call with a hand of T♦ 5♥

The J♣ turn gave Okamura a full house and both players checked it down to see a 4♦ on ther river.

Dinh tried to make a play at the pot with a bet of 85,000, but Okamura - with the winning hand - made a small raise to 200,000. Dinh didn't bother to poke the bear any further.

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.
