APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Chi Zhang opened for 10,000 under-the-gun to be called by Shane Cutinha in middle position and Nevan Chang in the big blind.

The flop dropped 5♦ 4♦ 9♣ which all players checked. The turn K♠ was checked to Cutinha who took the opportunity to bet out 18,000. Chang folded but Zhang made the call. The river 2♠ was checked by both players.

Zhang showed J♣ J♠ while Cutinha tabled A♥ K♥ for the winning hand.

Nobuaki Sasaki raised from under the gun to 1,300 and called by Cutinha Nicholas Shane form the small blind.

Both read the flop of 6♠ T♥ 2♦ , and Shane checked the action to Sasaki, who bet 1,600. Shane made the call.

The Q♣ hit on the turn, where Shane checked over again, and Sasaki fired 7,600 this time, which was enough to force his opponent to fold.

Ka Wai Cheung shoved all in for 11,700 from the small blind and Nicholas Shane went all in for 10,500.

Ka Wai Cheung: 6♣ 6♥

Nicholas Shane: T♠ T♦

Shane held the lead with pocket tens and received a straight draw on the 9♦ K♦ J♥ flop, leaving Cheung little chance to win. The dealer soon delivered a dry runout of 5♥ 4♦ , sealing a much-needed double up for Shane and crippling Cheung after this hand.

Cutinha Nicholas Shane opened from the button with a bet of 300, called by both blinds—Jian Yu Chen in the small blind and Alan Turabayev in the big blind.

The flop, 4♦ K♥ 4♣ , was checked by both blinds, giving Shane the chance to fire a continuation bet of 500. Chen called, while Turabayev folded, setting up a heads-up pot.

On the 5♠ turn, both players checked. Chen then checked again on the A♣ river, prompting Shane to bet 1,200, which was enough to make Chen fold.
