APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Vietnamese regular Van Tan Dong opened from early-position and got three-bet by the Indian Romit Advani in middle-position. Dong called and both players saw the T♠ 6♣ 6♥ flop. Dong checked and Romit continued with a 14,000 bet. Dong called.

The turn brought the 3♠ and instead of the expected check from Dong, the Vietnamese player put out a 34,000 donk bet. Interesting line by him, which worked out as Advani layed down his hand.

Bui Anh raised to 2,500 from under the gun and received three callers, Romit Advani on the button, Phan Thang from the small blind, and Julian Warhurst from the small blind.

On the K♣ 5♥ 3♣ flop, the blinds checked it to Anh, who bet 2,200. Only Thang called to see the Q♦ land on the turn, where Thang bet 4,000 and Anh stuck around.

The 8♠ dropped on the river, and the action went check-check. Thang tabled ace-high with A♥ 4♥ , while Anh also flipped ace-high with A♠ J♣ , with Anh’s jack kicker securing the pot.

Romit Advani raised too 2,500 from under the gun and Ilia Timofeev defended from the big blind.

Both saw a flop fill out Q♠ Q♥ 8♥ , bringing straight draw possibilities, and Timofeev check-called after Advani bet 2,000. The turn showed a 5♥ . The action went check-check.

A 2♦ dropped on the river, where Timofeev bet 3,000, forcing Advani to fold.
