APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Quang Ngoc shoved all-in from the cutoff for 3,400 and Khuc Hung also went all-in from the small blind to put his opponent at risk.

Khuc Hung: K♣ J♥

Quang Ngoc: A♠ 8♦

Ngoc held the lead with an ace, and on a flop of 6♣ 2♥ T♣ neither player improved.

The turn brought the board-pairing T♠ , leaving Hung drawing slim. The bricky 6♦ delivered on the river to complete the board, providing Ngoc a double-up to stay alive in the tournament.

Alexander Charron limped in from under the gun, and Quang Ngoc three-bet to 400 on the cutoff and received three callers, Liu Jun on the button, Jean Souprayenmestry from the small blind, and Ilia Timofeev from the big blind.

All players read the flop of T♠ A♣ J♦ , and this was followed by a string of checks until Ngoc, who bet 700. Only Souprayenmestry dropped in a call this time. The 5♠ hit on the turn, and Souprayenmestry check-called after Ngoc bet 1,800.

The river brought the 4♣ . The action went check-check. Souprayenmestry tabled ace-high with Q♠ 9♠ , but it was no match for a flopped pair of tens with Ngoc’s Q♦ T♣ .
