APT Main Event (36,000,000 VND)

Tuong Tran Khac opened for 24,000, and Thieu Nghiem Xuan raised to 50,000 from the cutoff. Nang Quang Nguyen called, while Khac folded, setting up a heads-up battle.

The flop came down A♠ 8♠ 7♦ . Nang Nguyen checked and called Xuan's 100,000 bet.

On the turn, 5♦ , Nang Nguyen again checked, and Xuan fired 150,000, which Nguyen called.

The river brought the 5♥ . Nang Nguyen threw in a time bank card to think through his options before ultimately checking. Xuan then used a time bank card of his own, deep in thought, before betting 250,000.

Nang Nguyen stared him down for a long moment before reluctantly making the call.

Xuan revealed A♥ A♦ , showing a set on the flop that improved to a full house on the river. Frustrated, Nang Nguyen mucked his hand, clearly dismayed at how the hand had played out.

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♥ .
