APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Action was picked up with David "Spade" Erquiaga raising The Naing's 15,000 bet on the river, prompting The Naing to go into the tank. After much deliberation, The Naing shoved all-in, and Erquiaga snap-called.

David "Spade" Erquiaga: 7♣ 7♦

The Naing: Q♥ J♣

Board: 6♠ 9♥ 4♣ 8♦ T♣

Both players made a straight on the river, with The Naing hitting the higher straight. It was a heartbreaking near-miss for Erquiaga, who left the table frustrated by the turn of events.

Ho Ip opened the hijack to 1,800 and received two callers, Thieu Xuan on the button and The Naing from the big blind.

Three players saw a flop fill out K♦ 4♥ 9♣ , and Naing checked the action to Ip, who bet 2,200. Only Xuan dropped in a call to the 7♠ turn, where Ip bet 7,500 and Xuan called.

The river brought a 2♠ , bringing up a bet of 22,000 from Ip, which Xuan called to tack it to a showdown. Ip flipped one pair with 5♦ 5♥ , and it was not enough to beat a flopped pair of kings from Xuan’s K♣ Q♥ .
