APT Super High Roller (120,000,000 VND)

Martin Stausholm opened from middle-position and short stack Mikael Andersson moved all-in from the big-blind with his 275,000. Stausholm made the call.

Mikael Andersson: A♣ J♠

Martin Stausholm: A♠ T♠

The flop came out dangerous for Andersson as it read A♦ 7♠ 2♠ . The 4♥ on the turn was a brick, but the T♣ on the river sealed the fate of the Swede who finished as the unfortunate bubble boy.

The final table has been reached.

We caught the hand on the river where in a blind versus blind situation between the two Scandinavians Mikael Andersson bet 245,000 into a pot of 325,000 on J♦ T♦ 9♦ 6♦ 8♦ . After using one time bank, Martin Stausholm in the small-blind decided to call. Andersson tabled Q♦ T♣ for a straight flush. That's a great way to end day 1 for him.

Motoyoshi Okamura opened the hijack to 40,000 and received two callers, Martin Stausholm from the small blind and Mikael Andersson from the big blind.

Three players read a flop of 7♥ 3♥ J♠ , where Stausholm and Andersson checked the action to Okamura, who bet 55,000. Only Andersson dropped in a call.

The 3♠ landed on the turn, and the action went check-check. The river carried out the 7♦ , where Andersson changed his strategy and bet 175,000. Okamura snap-folded.

Martin Stausholm opened from middle-position and Mikael Andersson next to him flatted. On the J♠ 7♥ 5♣ flop Stausholm checked and Andersson bet 50,000. Stausholm called. The 8♥ turn went without action.

On the river came the 9♣ and Stausholm checked once more. Andersson bet 125,000, but had to fold his hand after Stausholm put out a cheeky check-raise to 400,000.

After opening from the button and getting called by the big-blind, Andersson continued with a small continuation bet on J♣ J♦ 8♥ . Pham Nghia responded with a raise to 40,000. Andersson called and the turn brought the 5♦ . Both players checked and the A♦ appeared on the river. Nghia checked once more, but Andersson opened up the action again by betting 37,500. Nghia did not believe him and quickly made the call, but got shown J♥ 6♥ for flopped trips for Andersson.

From the early-position, Japanese Kyosuke Nagami opened up the action and only got called by Mikael Andersson on the button. The Japanese player checked his option on J♥ 8♦ 3♦ , but when Andersson put out a 12,000 bet, the preflop opener raised to 42,000. Andersson called and both players saw the board pairing 8♣ on the turn. Nagami pushed all-in for 113,000 which was enough to make the Swedish player fold.
