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

The Naing opened from the cut-off and got two callers, Zhongxian Li next to him on the button and Martin Stausholm in the big-blind. On A♦ K♦ 3♥ Naing went for 150,000 continuation bet which only got called by Li.

On the turn the 4♥ appeared and Naing continued his aggression with a 185,000 bet. Li called once more and the river brought the 2♣ . Naing put Li all-in, euqaling around 350,000. Li thought about for a few seconds before deciding he did not believe Naing and called.

Zhongxian Li: K♠ T♣

The Naing: A♣ Q♥

Unfortunately, for Li his hero call did not get rewarded and he busted shortly before the final table in 11th place. The Naing is now in commanding chip lead and certainly will put lot of pressure on his opponents on the bubble.

Singapore’s The Naing, the champion of 2023 APT Summer Series Da Nang PL Omaha, leads the pack with a towering stack of 2,640,000 to bring into tomorrow's Final Day.

Julian Warhurst opened the cutoff to 40,000, and Phuong Tan three-bet to 110,000 on the button, which only Zhongxian Li called from the small blind.

Both players read a flop of 7♥ K♦ Q♦ and checked through to see a J♥ fall on the turn. The action went check-check again.

The river carried out a 6♥ , where the two kept the pace and checked to a free showdown. Tan tabled a flopped pair of kings with K♣ 9♣ to best a turned pair of jacks from Li’s A♠ J♣ .

After calling the continuation bet from Blaschke in the big-blind and no action on the turn, Zhongxian Li bet out 56,000 on J♦ T♠ 2♦ 4♠ 3♦ and took down the pot. With only two more levels to play both players have a good chance to make Day 2 of the Super High Roller.

Nelson Dong, who registered during dinner break, is having himself a great level 13. First, he doubled up with 6♥ 6♦ against Nevan Chang's A♥ 8♦ . Then shortly after he flatted the open from Zhongxian Li, both in early-position, and Pham Nghia also went along in the big-blind. The flop came down A♦ J♥ 9♣ and Dong called the continuation bet from Li, while Nghia folded.

The turn brought the 2♣ , Li bet once again, this time 78,000 and Dong called once more. The board pairing J♦ appeared on the river and it was time for Li to slow down and check. Dong thought for a little bit before putting out a hefty bet of 230,000. Li made the call, but had to concede the pot after Dong tabled A♠ J♠ for a full house.

Zhongxian Li opened from the button and Dylan Foster defended his big-blind. On A♥ 9♦ 7♣ Li continued with a small bet which got raised to 55,000 by Foster. Li called and both players saw a J♣ on the turn. Foster continued his aggression with a 80,000 which once more got called by Li.

The river brought the board pairing 9♠ and Foster decided to give up his hand and check. Li quickly checked behind. Foster tabled T♦ 6♠ for a missed gutshot, while Li showed J♠ 8♠ for the winner.

The action picked up on the turn with the board running out 7♦ 5♥ K♠ 4♣ with around 52,000 chips in the middle when Dylan Foster checked the action from under the gun to Zhonsxian Li from middle position. Foster made the call.

Both read the river bring a 2♦ and decided to check through to a free showdown. Foster tabled 9♥ 9♠ for a pair, leaving Li to toss his cards into the muck.

Zhongxian Li raised to 12,000 from under the gun and Pham Nghia called on the button.

A flop filled out A♦ 9♦ 7♣ , and Li bet 25,500 before Nghia dropped in a call to see the 3♣ land on the turn, where both checked through.

The river came Q♥ , and Li fired 30,000. Nghia stuck around to take it to a showdown. Li tabled a rivered pair of queens with K♦ Q♦ , but it was still not enough to best flopped aces from Nghia’s A♥ 4♥ .

Zhongxian Li opened the hijack to 8,000 and Chi Ho Yeung defended from the big blind.

The two saw a flop roll off 2♣ 6♥ 7♠ , and Yeung bet 5,000 to which Li put in a raise to 12,000. Yeung dropped in a call.

The turn brought a T♣ , and the action went check-check. A K♥ landed on the river, where Yeung bet 25,000. Li then raised to 35,000, leaving Yeung no choice to muck his hand.

Zhongxian Li raised to 5,000 from under the gun and Milos Skrbic defended from the big blind.

The two read a monotone flop of 5♠ 6♠ 3♠ , and Skrbic bet 6,000, which Li called to see the J♠ turn, where Skrbic bet 8,000. Li stuck around.

The T♠ fell on the river, and Skrbic kept up his aggression and bet 25,000. Li dropped in a call to take it to a showdown. Skrbic flipped a flopped straight with 4♠ 2♦ as Li turned over pocket kings, shipping the pot Skrbic’s way.
