APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Junseok Oh opened to 17,000 from middle position, and Sergei Korzhenko called, taking them to a flop of K♣ 5♠ 7♠ .

On the flop, Korzhenko, at risk, check-raised all-in for 59,000 after Oh led out with a bet of 20,000. Oh snap-called.

Sergei Korzhenko: K♥ 8♣

Junseok Oh: K♦ T♣

Both players paired their king on the flop, but Korzhenko was outkicked by Oh's ten. The turn J♥ and river 6♣ didn’t improve Korzhenko’s hand, resulting in his elimination from the tournament.

Day 2 of the APT Phu Quoc Main Event starts today at 11 am local time.

From the 753 total entries accumulated across all four Day 1 flights, 292 players will return to the field, though this number may shift as registration remains open until the start of Day 2.

Leading the pack is overall chip leader Jinlong Hu with 476,600 chips – the largest stack ever brought into Day 2. Close behind is Do Tien Vu, holding 447,800 chips. Nang Quang Nguyen, the 2023 APT Phu Quoc Super High Roller Champion, is in 5th place with 323,000.

A host of APT titleholders have also qualified to join Nguyen in today’s competition. Among this prestigious group are Taiwan’s Chi Jen “Justin” Chu (147,300), APT China’s Peng Chen (144,500), France’s Adrien Favre (122,500), Singapore's The Naing (139,500), and Australia's Yita Choong (121,000).

Some notables who will need to climb back from below-average stacks include South Korea’s Gab Yong Kim (97,600), Cypriot bracelet winner Georgios Skarparis (97,100), Sweden's Mikael Andersson (88,800), Natalia Rozova (61,700), and the Philippines' David Erquiaga (43,800).

Players will compete over 10 levels of 60 minutes each, or until the field is reduced to 48 players, whichever comes first.

Flight B of the VND 36M APT Main Event has concluded with 204 entries (156 unique) generated following six 45-minute and four 60-minute levels, with 66 players bagging up their chips and coming back for Day 2 on Thursday, Nov. 14th.

Russia's Sergei Korzhenko sits at the top of the leaderboard after consistently chipping up throughout the day. He will start Day 2 with 372,300 chips. For a few levels of the day, he could be observed engaging in exciting battles with fellow big stack Nang Quang Nguyen who was sitting on his left.

The Vietnamese professional, with over USD 1 million in live earnings, ended the day second in chips, bagging 323,000. The podium of Flight B was completed by the China's Kaihua Huang with 306,200 chips. Huang continued the great run he is having here at APT Phu Quoc after winning Event #11 Super Hyper Turbo, and finishing in 4th place in Event #28 Tick Tock Boom!.

One player who will certainly be excited for Day 2 of the Main Event is Vietnam's own Pham Thanh Nghia. In one of the last hands of the day his pocket queens helped him to finish with 235,600, which puts him into the top 10 chip counts.

A nationality that will be represented well on Day 2 is Thailand with ten players in Flight B making it through. Both Phanlert Sukonthachartnant (171,300), and Kannapong Thanarattrakul (152,200) are two players to look out for on Thursday, sitting in #4 and #2 respectively on the Thailand All-Time Money List.

Other notables to make it through include Singapore's The Naing (139,500), Australia's Yita Choong (121,000), Cypriot bracelet winner Georgios Skarparis (97,100), Sweden's Mikael Andersson (88,800), and the Philippines' David Erquiaga (43,800).

It folded all the way around to the Russian Sergei Korzhenko in the small-blind who opened up the action against Nang Nguyen in the big-blind. The Vietnamese player responded with a three-bet to 8,000. The Russian called and the flop came down T♣ 8♦ 6♣ . Both players checked.

On the A♥ turn Korzhenko checked once more and Nguyen bet out 2,500. The small-blind raised to 11,000 and Nguyen called.

The river 5♦ went without any action again. Korzhenko let out a small outcry of disappointment as he tabled his 6♠ 6♦ for a flopped set. Nguyen showed A♣ Q♣ for a missed flush draw and top pair.

This could have gone much worse for either player, especially considering both players had huge stacks.

Peerapat Poshyanonda from Thailand opened to 700 from early-position and got three-bet to 2,200 by Sergei Korzhenko in the cut-off. The Thai player called and both players saw a flop consisting of Q♠ 2♠ 2♥ . Poshyanonda checked and Korzhenko put out a 1,200 continuation bet. The Thai national called and the turn brought the A♠ .

Korzhenko bet small once more, this time 1,300, which got called again by his opponent. The river 7♥ went without any action as both players checked. Poshyanonda tabled A♥ 8♥ which was good enough to take down the pot.
