Hao Shan Huang In Pole Position With 34 Remaining in Record-Breaking APTC Main Event

Hao Shan Huang

Day 3 of the Asian Poker Tour Championship (APTC) Main Event played out inside Red Space as the record-breaking 671-entry field approaches its final stretch. The grueling session ended with just 34 players remaining, all now in sight of the final table and poker immortality in the TWD 311,000 (~USD 10,000) freezeout.

The stakes are higher than ever, with this event featuring the biggest ever APT Main Event prize pool: a staggering TWD 194,080,973 (~USD 6.2 million). Everyone remaining is now chasing the monumental TWD 37,030,773 (~USD 1,186,880) top prize and the Championship title.

Emerging on top after a hard-fought day was Taiwan’s Hao Shan Huang, who bagged the lead with 2,727,000 chips, having consistently stayed near the summit for most of the day. A familiar face on the APT circuit, Huang's best live cash currently sits at just over USD 40,000, meaning a 23rd-place finish or better here will already mark a new, significant career high.

Romania’s Alexandru Papazian is just a few big blinds behind with 2,693,000 chips in his bag. Papazian is in a league of his own as he sits first in his country's All-Time Money List with over USD 4,000,000 in cashes. They are well clear of Australia’s Neng Zhao, who ended in third with 1,688,000 chips.

Bubble Trouble for Aces

The first objective for the players on Day 3 was to make it into the money, and that didn't fail to deliver some drama as aces were cracked twice during hand-for-hand play on the way to trimming the field down to the final 95.

With 98 remaining, Soohak Eo shoved ace-four suited from the hijack for around 15 big blinds and was quickly called by Sukhrat Massimov in the small blind, who held pocket aces. Just as it seemed that a player would be lost, two fours on the flop gave Eo trips and a double-up.

Not long after, Jen Li Liu committed his stack with ace-queen and ran into Jan Chun's ace-king. Neither player improved on the board, which meant Liu was out in 98th.

Jaesung Lee loses a flip to bust in 97th

Jaesung Lee then got his stack in with pocket jacks and was put at risk by the Big Slick of Eisuke Katsuren. A clean flop for Lee got him over halfway to a double-up, but a king on the turn ended his hopes in 97th.

In the most brutal hand of the bubble, John Costiniano shoved from early position with queen-five offsuit, attacking the shorter stacks who were trying to survive.

Shinya Maeda, who came second in the APT Summer Series Da Nang Main Event, looked down at pocket aces and quickly called. A queen-high flop kept Maeda's aces in front, but a devastating five on the turn improved Costiniano to two pair. Maeda couldn't catch up on the river, which delighted the remaining 95 players as they had all made the money.

Post-Bubble Action

The eliminations then came thick and fast from there on out with the likes of Frank Cucchiara (86th), Roman Hrabec (85th), Fabian Gumz (84th), Stephen O’Dwyer (77th), Natural8 ambassador Phachara Wongwichit (74th), Dylan Foster (62nd), Aditya Agarwal (56th), and the last woman standing Sumire Hori (45th) all hitting the rail before the end of play.

The day marched on, and more and more chip millionaires were made. Huang was one of the first and he spent most of the day on top of the pack. The Taiwanese player had a great series at APT Jeju last year with two runner-up finishes in the Korea National Cup and Micro Main Event, and has carried that momentum forward to Day 4 of the richest Main Event in APT history.

Matas Cimbolas

Lithuania’s Matas Cimbolas steadily climbed the ranks throughout the day and ended up fifth in the counts with a bag of 1,624,000. Late in the last level, he added a chunk to his stack as he picked up pocket aces and called the shove of Lok Ming Chan, who held king-ten. Chan did turn a flush draw, but the river left him unimproved and out in 41st, and sent Cimbolas up the leaderboard.

Start-of-day chip leader Dohang Na had a topsy-turvy day as his stack rode the waves of tournament poker all the way to the finish line in 20th with 867,000 in his bag. In a hand against Huang, Na was caught with his hand in the cookie jar when he bet the river and immediately mucked when his opponent called.

Dohang Na

Some other notables to make it through include Dominik Nitsche (1,504,000), Nishant Sharma (1,329,000, Ankit Ahuja (1,303,000), Jun Hao Wu (1,286,000), Martin Finger (1,275,000), Ben Loo (1,013,000), and John Costiniano (318,000).

Play resumes at 11:15 AM on Thursday, November 27, in Level 23 (10,000/20,000/20,000). The plan is to play six levels or to the final table, but that will be decided as the day progresses and be left up to the tournament director.

Bo Busts Kuo as Play Winds Down

Level 20: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Chia Wei Kuo

Chia Wei Kuo found himself short and shoved on the button. It was folded to Wei Lin Bo, who called to put Kuo at risk.

Chia Wei Kuo: K♣ J♥

Wei Lin Bo: Q♣ 3♦

Kuo was favored with his queen, but Bo's cards were live, and the 3♥ 5♣ 6♠ flop paired Bo's trey to give him the lead.

There would be no drama, as the Q♠ turn improved Bo to two pair, which left Kuo drawing dead.

The 9♥ river made it official and Kuo was eliminated in 35th place for TWD 844,300 (~USD 27,060).

There was a pot of 200,000 in the middle beside a board that showed 5♦ K♥ K♣ 9♦.

Martin Sedlak tapped his option from the small blind and Eisuke Katsuren fired 75,000.

Sedlak took his time and made the call.

The river showed a 9♠.

Eisuke Katsuren

Both relatively short-stacked as the day neared its end, Eisuke Katsuren and John Costiniano were walking on eggshells around each other, careful not to lose more chips.

On a pot of 130,000, Katsuren bet 25,000 on a completed board of 5♥ 6♦ 7♥ J♥ 4♦. After burning his final time bank, Costiniano raised to 100,000, leaving just 170,000 behind. Katsuren spent some time, burning his own time bank before deciding to flat call.

Costiniano tabled K♠ 9♠, while Katsuren held J♦ 9♦. A♠ the dealer prepared to push the pot to Katsuren, Andrew Han, who was also on the table, questioned the hand, thinking Costiniano might have won it.

Costiniano looked hopeful, but when the dealer revealed the cards—still not in the muck—Katsuren breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had truly won the pot.

Level 22: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Junzhong Loo

With the day coming to an end, players were tiptoeing around the hands, hoping to survive and have a brighter start tomorrow.

Such was the case when Ankit Ahuja checked a board of 3♥ A♥ A♦ J♥ with a pot of 130,000, joined by his opponent Junzhong Loo.

On the river T♦, Ahuja tossed out a tentative 30,000, only to be met with an all-in shove from Loo, who had just 175,000 behind.

With a smile, Ahuja sent his hand to the muck, and Loo grinned as he happily scooped the pot.

All three checked the flop of J♦ T♦ 7♦

Then, they checked the 5♠ turn.

And they all checked the T♥ river.

Finger was the first to show 9♠ 9♦ for a pair of nines and everyone mucked.

Yu Lin shoved for his last 200,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ben Loo in the big blind, who had Lin covered. Lin then got out of his seat to sweat the runout with his camera.

Yu Lin: 7♠ 7♥

Ben Loo: A♣ K♠

It was a coin flip for Lin's tournament life, but the 3♠ A♦ J♦ T♦ Q♦ runout left Loo best with Broadway — eliminating Lin in 38th place for TWD 844,300 (~USD 27,060).

The dealer flopped 6♣ 6♥ Q♣, which the trio checked. Breaking the friendliness on the 4♣ turn, Lee fired 50,000 which made both Sharma and Nitsche fold.

Zhao check-called again, but this time for a hefty 1110,000.

The dealer gave a 6♥ on the river.

Zhao led for 75,000 and Na made the call.

John Costiniano opened for 32,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Hao Shan Huang in the small blind, who raised to 88,000. Costiniano then four-bet jammed for 204,000. Huang, sitting on a monster stack, made the call.

John Costiniano: K♠ K♦

Hao Shan Huang: A♦ Q♣

Board ran T♣ 4♠ 7♥ 4♥ Q♦.

Huang hit his queen on the river, but it was still not enough to defeat the kinds of Costiniano, who scooped a very critical double-up to give him some breathing room.

Nishant Sharma

Nishant Sharma and George Tomescu were heads up on a completed board of 9♥ 7♥ 8♦ 5♥ 3♣ with a large pot already in the middle. Tomescu had already shoved on the button, which was enough to put Sharma all in for 545,000 total in the big blind.

Sharma went deep into the tank, but eventually convinced himself to toss a single chip into the middle to indicate a call.

Tomescu turned over A♥ 5♠ for a pair of fives and Sharma revealed 6♥ 4♠ for a straight to score the massive double up.

Lok Ming Chan

Matas Cimbolas opened to 32,000 from the hijack and Lok Ming Chan shipped in his stack of 361,000 from the small blind. Cimbolas snap-called.

Lok Ming Chan: K♠ T♠

Matas Cimbolas: A♠ A♥

Chan was way behind the aces of Cimbolas, and the flop of 2♥ 3♠ 3♣ wasn't the one he was looking for. However, some hope arrived in the form of a flush draw on the 5♠ turn, which gave Chan a shot at survival.

However, that hope was quickly snatched away as the 2♦ river kept the aces of Cimbolas ahead, and sent Chan out in 41st.

After that hand, Cimbolas' stack grew to 100 big blinds. Dangerous.

A pot of around 120,000 was in the middle with a board that showed 6♠ 9♠ 2♠ 4♣.

Dohang Na of South Korea was on the cutoff and bet out 60,000. Jun Chun, also from South Korea, was on the button and called.

The river came 9♥.

Na moved all-in and Chun snap-called even before the chips were counted.

Na tabled 9♦ 2♣ for a full house.

Chun gave "THE LOOK" to Na and showed K♠ J♠ for a flush.

The dealer counted off 262,000 and Chun shook his head while shipping the payment to Na.

Bo then called a 45,000 bet from Dung on the K♦ J♦ 5♥ flop before both players checked on the 7 turn.

The A♥ completed the board and Dung quietly announced he was all in. Bo made sure that the action was confirmed and then quickly called all in for 193,000 total.

Dung showed A♣ 6♠ for a rivered pair of aces, but it was no good against Bo's Q♠ T♠ for a rivered straight to award Bo the double up.

John Costiniano

The air was tense and the silence deafening at Table #77. With a pot of around 400,000 and a completed board of T♥ K♣ T♣ 8♥ 2♥, John Costiniano and Andrew Han were locked in a showdown.

Han shoved all-in for 225,000, sending Costiniano deep into the tank, visibly wrestling with what Han could possibly be holding. After burning a time bank, and to the shock of everyone watching, Costiniano made the call.

Both players tabled their hands at the same time - A♦ J♠ for Costiniano and A♥ Q♣ for Han - and simultaneously blurted out, “What the F***!” They repeated it back and forth several times before finally settling down, still stunned by the reveal.

Costiniano then broke the silence with a grin: “I knew you were bluffing. But I never thought you’d be bluffing with the better hand.”

Sedlak Eyes Biggest Score Since APT High Roller Victory

Martin Sedlak

Martin Sedlak is still in the field and recently crossed the million-chip mark with just 46 players left.

The German poker pro had his career-best score last year in Taipei after taking down an APT High Roller for TWD 5,244,000 (~USD 164,850). Since then, Sedlak has cashed numerous times, but has yet to cash for six figures following his victory.

However, Sedlak's above-average stack gives him a solid chance to reach new heights if he can reach the final table and place seventh or higher (for TWD 5,628,300 ~USD 180,395).

In a recent hand, Sedlak raised to 24,000 from early position and was called by Adam Alfie in the big blind.

Alfie check-called a 15,000 from Sedlak on the J♥ 2♥ J♣ flop, but check-folded after Sedlak bet 60,000 on the 9♠ turn.

Geeng Runs Into Sam's Big Slick

Level 21: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Jereld Sam

Jereld Sam opened the hijack to 24,000 and Ta Chih Geeng called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of K♦ T♣ 5♦, where Geeng checked and Sam bet 14,000. Geeng then moved all in for 92,000, and Sam quickly called.

Ta Chih Geeng: T♦ 9♥

Jereld Sam: A♣ K♥

Geeng had flopped middle pair and rolled the dice, but unfortunately ran into the top pair of Sam. There were still two cards to come, but it was all over on the K♣ turn as Sam made trips.

A meaningless 6♦ hit the river, and Geeng exited in

Sumire Hori: Last Woman Standing

Level 21: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Sumire Hori

Sumire Hori of Japan is on her way to making the biggest cash of her career. With 50 players remaining in the field, each one is guaranteed at least TWD 727,800 (~USD 23,325).

Hori's biggest cash came from a final table appearance in a Main Event in Taiwan recently, where she pocketed USD 17,582 for finishing eighth.

Hori has played in several APT stops - Manila in 2022, Taipei in 2023 and earlier this year in Taipei. Her best APT result was an 8th place finish in the Zodiac Classic by Natural8 this year, where she banked USD 4,195.

Hori has total live earnings of USD 40,779 and can easily break over USD 100,000 if she manages to reach at least 15th place.

Meanwhile, she has a below-average stack of 360,000 (30 BB), which could use some help.

Nitsche Flops Quads to Stack Goel

Level 21: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Dominik Nitsche Dominik Nitsche opened the but

Dominik Nitsche opened the button to 36,000 and Apoorva Goel shoved 152,000 from the small blind. Nitsche quickly called.

Apoorva Goel: A♣ J♣

Dominik Nitsche: T♥ T♣

Goel needed to win the flip, but that seemed incredibly unlikely as the T♠ T♦ A♥ flop gave Nitsche quads. Only running aces could save Goel, but instead running eights filled out the board as the 8♥ 8♦ turn and river confirmed his elimination in 51st place.

Action was picked up with Wei Lin Bo, all-in and at risk, against Hao Chuang in a battle of the blinds.

In the lead, Bo was poised to pad his stack when he hit the A♠ 5♣ K♠ flop for top pair. The J♠ turn improved his hand further to two pair, even as Chuang picked up extra outs with a gutshot straight draw.

The river 8♣ brought no help for Chuang, allowing Bo to continue his tournament run.

The Q♦ turn paired the board and Hori barreled for 36,000, which Loo again called.

Hori wasn't done and announced she was all in on the 8♣ river, which was enough to put Loo all in for his last 95,000.

Loo tanked a bit, but eventually decided to lay his hand down, awarding Hori the pot without a showdown.

On a pot of 75,000 and a board of 6♠ 5♠ J♦ K♠, Vamerdino Magsakay in the big blind and Martin Finger passed the action to Che Li Lin. Lin fired 30,000.

Wanting to see the last card, Magsakay called, but Finger had seen enough and folded. The river 4♥ dropped and Magsakay checked again. Lin bet 80,000, sending Magsakay to the tank.

Magsakay used all of his time and a time bank to mull over things but seemed like he needed more. He looked down and saw that he only had one time bank left, as the dealer started to count the last five seconds down.

Seemingly undecided and rushed, he folded his hand at the very last second and conceded the pot to Lin.

Papizan's Jack is Good

Level 20: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Alexandru Papazian

Soohak Eo opened to 20,000 first to act and Alexandru Papazian defended his big blind.

Papazian check-called a 15,000 bet from Eo on the 8♥ Q♣ 7♥ flop and a 35,000 bet from Eo on the J♦ turn.

Both players checked on the 8♣ river and Papazian tabled J♣ 9♣ for jacks-up. Eo slid his hand into the muck and Papazian added to his stack, which now sit at 1,500,000 — nearly three times the average.

A Break From the Action

Players in the field have been sent on their third 15-minute of the day.

Level 19 was largely dominated by the money bubble, which saw a comination of beats and double-ups before bursting — guaranteeing everyone remaining a payout of at least TWD 572,500 (~USD 18,350).

Following the bubble, a flurry of eliminations saw the field cut down to 68 remaining.

Neilson Down to One Big Blind, Busts

Level 19: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Daniel Neilson

Nishant Sharma, in the big blind, checked the board of 9♣ 3♣ 7♣ J♥, with around 60,000 in the middle. Daniel Neilson, to his immediate left, fired 22,000 which Sharma called.

The river 7♦ fell and Sharma donked 12,000. Neilson pushed his whole stack worth 105,000 leaving behind one 1,000-chip. Sharma called.

Neilson tabled A♦ K♣ for ace-high and Sharma showed T♠ 8♣ for a straight.

Entering the big blind, Neilson was automatically all-in with 1,000. Action folded to Nai Yuan Hu, who raised to 16,000. With action folding around, Hu and Neilson went to showdown.

Daniel Neilson: 5♠ 3♦

Nai Yuan Hu: 7♥ 7♠

The board ran 4♥ Q♣ A♥ Q♦ 3♣ and although Neilson river a pair, it still didn't beat Hu's pockets. Neilson left the table as Hu scooped the pot.

John Costiniano of the Philippines sat on the small blind and was up against Taiwan's Yu Yung Lin on the cutoff.

Both players had a pot of around 60,000 in front of them beside a board that showed K♠ 9♣ A♦ T♦ A♠.

Constiniano led out for 35,000 and Lin gave some thought and made the call.

Costiniano showed K♣ 2♣ for two pair kings and aces, but was no match for the A♣ 8♦ of Lin, which made trips on the river.

Double Whammy as Huang Eliminates Bansal and Michl

Level 19: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Joris Michl

Paawan Bansal, under the gun, open-shoved all-in for 10,000 and received another all-in from middle position Joris Michl for 135,000. Hao Shan Huang on the button was about to make a 52,000 raise unaware that there was an all-in bigger than Bansal's.

Without letting go of his chips, the dealer explained the situation. Huang released them for a call, putting both Bansal's and Michl's tournament life on the line.

Paawan Bansal: Q♥ 7♠

Joris Michl: 6♠ 6♥

Hao Shan Huang: A♦ K♠

Michl was eyeing a much-needed double-up after flopping a set on the 3♦ 8♥ 6♦ board. But the K♦ on the turn gave Huang a wave of new outs. Wide-eyed, Michl watched his chance to double evaporate as the 2♦ hit the river.

Bansal, thrilled to have secured a cash, left the table smiling as Michl headed to the payout counter.

Bansal - the Luckiest Man Alive

Level 19: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Paawan Bansal

Paawan Bansal was over the moon when the bubble finally burst—so much so that the entire Table #86 erupted in celebration with him, offering high-fives and congratulations.

His roller-coaster story began on Hand #4 of hand-for-hand play, with 98 players left and only 95 guaranteed a payout.

Hao Shan Huang opened to 17,000 and Bansal called to see a flop. The dealer spread T♥ Q♣ 5♠. Huang continued for 18,000 and Bansal made the call once more.

Both players checked the A♥ turn, and on the 6♦ river, Huang eyed Bansal’s remaining stack before firing 52,000.

Unfazed, Bansal raised to 165,000, leaving himself with just 10,000 behind - one big blind’s worth of hope. Huang called.

Bansal tabled J♥ J♣, only to see Huang reveal A♦ 2♠. He looked momentarily deflated, but the table rallied around him, assuring him he could still survive the bubble, and with patience, he did.

After locking up the min-cash, Bansal beamed, saying, “Except for the winner of this event, I feel like the luckiest man alive. Queen-five winning over pocket aces… doesn’t happen that often. These two 5,000-chips are now worth USD 19,000.”

Aces no Good! Shinya Maeda Bubbles the APTC Main Event

Level 19: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Shinya Maeda bubbles APTC Main Event

On the fifth round of hand-for-hand play, John Constiniano shoved from early position and just behind him, Shinya Maeda called all in for his last 137,000. Everyone else got out of the way as media and onlooks crowded the table to await the outcome.

Shinya Maeda: A♠ A♦

John Constiniano: Q♣ 5♥

It looked to be an easy double up for Maeda, much to the dismay of everyone else in the field, as he had Constiniano's rags drawing slim.

The Q♠ 8♦ 6♦ flop paired Constiniano's queen, which got a collective "Oooooo!" from spectators as Maeda wasn't out of the woods yet.

Anticipation built as the tournament director ordered the dealer to bring a turn, which came the 5♠ — improving Constiniano to two pair and vaulting him into the lead as the crowd erupted.

It wasn't over, however, as Maeda still had two-pair and trips out. The dealer then flipped over the 2♦, a total blank to eliminate Maeda in heartbreaking fashion and bring an end to the bubble.

Jaesung Lee watches on as a king hits the turn

There was an open from Eisuke Katsuren from middle position and Jaesung Lee shoved 90,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Katsuren, he called.

Jaesung Lee: J♦ J♣

Eisuke Katsuren: A♠ K♠

Lee was the at-risk player, and his jacks survived the flop of 4♣ 3♦ 6♠. Standing with his hands together and praying, Lee's prayers were not answered as the K♣ landed on the turn, which left him one card away from elimination.

Only a jack could save Lee, but the T♥ river didn't deliver any, meaning he made his way to the exit in 97th place, two off the money.

On the very next hand after Sukhrat Massimov doubled through Chi Ngong Tang, Soohak Eo shoved for his 118,000 from the hijack and was called by Massimov, who had a slightly covering stack.

Soohak Eo: A♥ 4♥

Sukhrat Massimov: A♠ A♣

It was the worst-possible matchup for Eo, who found himself absolutely crushed against Massimov's rockets.

However, the flop brought 4♦ 3♥ 4♠, which got a varied reaction of gasps and groans from onlookers as Eo pulled into a commanding lead after flopping trips.

The 7♦ turn left Massimov drawing to the last remaining ace in the deck, but it wasn't meant to be as the 5♣ river bricked out — awarding a crucial bubble double to Eo in unbelievable fashion.

Massimov was left with just 15,000 following the brutal beat.

Jun Beum Chun opened to 15,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 77,000 by Fabian Gumz in the small blind. Dominik Nitsche called cold in the big blind and Chun got out of the way for a bloated heads-up pot.

Gumz proceeded to check-call a 55,000 bet from Nitsche on the 3♦ Q♣ 4♠ flop and a 115,000 bet from Nitsche on the K♥ turn.

The 4♣ completed the board and Gumz checked a final time. Nitsche re-checke his hole cards and then sent his entire stack into the middle, which was enough to put Gumz all in for his last 270,000.

Gumz took off his shades, stared at Nitsche, and then shrugged multiple times, clearly troubled by his decision.

Gumz then tossed in all of his time banks and used up six of them (the max allowed on any given hand) before tossing his cards into the muck.

Players at the table started mumbling among themselves as they waited for the next hand to be dealt.

In a flurry of pre-flop three- and four-bets that ballooned the pot to 230,000, Huang and Na found themselves battling once again.

The flop came 8♣ 8♦ 2♠. Huang fired 74,000. Na mulled over his next move, burned a time bank, then bet a hefty 185,000. Huang took his time before making the call.

A brief pause in action let the whole table breathe when both players knuckled the J♦ turn.

Huang checked the river 2♥, and keeping the pressure high, Na fired 345,000. Huang calmly considered his options and made a one-chip call, prompting Na to immediately muck his hand.

At this point, Paawawn Bansal, looking vindicated, exclaimed, “That’s what I said!”—as if everyone knew what he meant. Huang smiled as he scooped the massive pot toward his direction, knocking Na’s stack down to half.

The flop came 3♠ 7♠ 4♣. After a check Chuang kept the pressure with a 38,000 bet. Cimbolas, unfazed at the cost of each street, called once again.

The turn 5♥ dropped and pressure eased with action going check-check. On the river 9♣, and after the third check, Chuang fired 140,000 into the pot. It took two time banks for Cimbolas to fold his hand.

A♠ the pot was pushed in Chuang’s direction, he tabled K♣ Q♥, prompting tablemate Zhan Xi Guo to exclaim, “It’s a bluff? Wow!”

On the very next hand, as cards were pitched, Cimbolas shook his head and said, “It didn’t make sense… but…” He then opened once again to 14,000, shot a look at Chuang, and added, “Round 2?”

Chuang happily obliged, re-raising to 52,000. Action folded back around, and Cimbolas waited until the final second before releasing his hand with a grin.

Cimbolas' Raise Gets Paid

Level 18: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Matas Cimbolas

Hao Chuang was on the big blind, going up against Matas Cimbolas on the button.

Before both players was a sizable pot of around 50,000 and a flop that showed 2♣ 7♠ 3♥.

Both checked the turn 6♣ and the dealer peeled open a T♦ on the river

Chuang led with a bet of 11,000 and just before time ran out, Cimbolas raised it to 55,000.

Chuang tanked, wondered if aliens really live among us, then threw in a chip to call.

Cimbolas opened A♥ T♠ for a pair of tens and Chuang mucked his hand.

Dohang Na

Hsin-Kai Haung opened to 12,000 first to act and was three-bet to 33,000 by Seunghun Ko in middle position. Dohang Na called cold from the cutoff, and everyone else folded, including Huang.

Ko check-called a 19,000 bet from Na on the 3♦ T♠ 4♣ flop, but check-folded after Na bet enough to put Ko all in for his last 61,000 on the T♣ turn.

Na, who entered Day 3 as the chip leader, has continued to accumulate chips and currently sits with approximately 1,300,000 as the bubble draws near.

Both players checked on the K♣ turn, but Wu fired 120,000 into the middle after the K♦ paired the board on the river.

Nishant Sharma

After a check, Foo Hsien Loong, under the gun, shot out 12,000 on a flop of 8♦ 4♣ K♥ with 37,500 chips in the middle. Michael Concepcion, immediately to his left, and Nishant Sharma in the big blind called to see the next card.

The turn A♣ fell and Sharma knuckled. Loong fired another 32,000, which was enough to make Concepcion fold. Sharma, not ready to let go, called to see the last card.

The dealer completed the board with a Q♠ river. For a third time, Sharma checked. Loong thought long about his next move. He decided to check after.

Sharma, first to show, tabled A♠ Q♦ for a rivered two-pair, prompting Loong to throw his hand into the muck.

Action came back to Dung, who didn't hesitate to make the call.

The board ran 6♥ 5♠ T♣ Q♣ 3♠.

Frank Cucchiara

Frank Cucchiara raised to approximately 40,000 from the hijack, leaving himself a single T-5,000 denomination chip behind, and was called by Joseph Sandaev in the small blind.

Sandaev checked on the 6♠ J♥ 3♦ flop and Cucchiara said, "Do I have fold equity?" before checking behind.

Sandaev then bet 5,000 to put Cucchiara all in after the 3♥ fell on the turn.

"I could be drawing dead... well, I'm never dead," Cucchiara mused before tossing in his last chip.

Frank Cucchiara: 9♠ 9♣

Joseph Sandaev: A♠ T♣

Cucchiara was, in fact, not drawing dead, but a heavy favorite to double his chip stack.

The K♠ filled out the board and Cucchiara was awarded the double up to keep his Main Event run alive.

Level 17: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Nutthapath Saisilp

There was around 45,000 in the pot with a board that showed J♦ T♦ Q♥.

Small blind Nutthapath Saisilp and big blind Mark Sia checked their option to Nguyen Huu Dung, who bet out 15,000.

Saisilp called and Sia jammed all in for 70,000.

Dung folded and Saisilip tanked, did some calculations with his fingers, staring at the board for answers, and wondered if we really evolved from the ocean after the Great Flood and made the call.

Sia showed 9♦ 5♦ for a flush draw and Saisilp showed K♠ T♠ for a pair of tens and a straight draw.

The board ran out J♣ 3♥.

Sia missed his draw and also missed out on his chance for a Main Event championship.

Money Bubble Looms in Day 3 of Record-Setting APT Main Event

APTC Gold Main Event Trophy

The stakes are about to rise at the Asian Poker Tour Championship (APTC) inside Red Space, Taipei, in what promises to be a pivotal day for the Main Event.

What began as a 671-entry field (the largest USD 10k freezeout tournament outside Las Vegas in the past decade) has now been whittled down to just 133 hopefuls. Later today, they will return for Day 3 with an immediate goal surely at the top of everyone's mind — make the money.

This year's APTC has delivered record-setting numbers across several tournaments, and the Main Event proved no exception after generating a TWD 194,080,973 (~USD 6,200,000) prize pool — the richest in APT history. However, only 95 players will get a piece of the historic prize pool, which means 38 of those returning today will leave empty-handed. Everyone who does manage to survive the looming money bubble will be guaranteed a minimum TWD 572,500 (~USD 18,350) payday for their efforts.

Leading the charge entering Day 3 is Dohang Na of South Korea. Na managed to secure a substantial chip lead after cracking pocket kings on one of the final hands of Day 2 to end with 924,500. Earlier during the festival, Na fell just short of a major final table after placing 10th in the Natural8 Cup Championship. However, with a mountain of chips and plenty of momentum on his side, Na is poised to make what could be a career-defining run.

His next-closest competitor is Aditya Agarwal of India, who will enter a distance second with 766,000 and rounding out the top three is Malaysia's own Ben Loo with 738,500.

Though a fraction of what it once was, the remaining field contains no shortage of poker power houses. Poker Hall-of-Famer Erik Seidel, whose numerous accolades include winning 10 WSOP bracelets and over USD 48,000,0000 in tournament earnings, will be one to watch after bagging a respectable 204,000 last night.

A pair of APT Champions from events earlier this year also have the potential to make waves by adding another major title to the poker résumés. Edmond Chim, who won the APT Incheon High Roller in August, will bring 210,000 with him to the felt while Akira Takasugi, who won the Taipei Main Event in May, bagged up 137,000 last night. Both players are freerolling the tournament, having won entry into the Main Event through those earlier victories.

Also still in the running is Steve O'Dwyer, who picked up his first-ever cash at an APT a couple of days ago after placing sixth in the Superstar Championship. While O'Dwyer's 127,000 stack sits below the field average, he still has plenty to work with as he looks to add to his career tournament earnings of over USD 46,000,000.

Steve O'Dwyer

Play picks back up at 11:15 AM on Level 17, which features blinds of 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante. Starting today, level lengths increase to 90 minutes, with 15-minute breaks following each level. Players will get a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 20 and Day 3 will conclude at the end of Level 22.

With the bubble fast approaching, plenty of big names circling, and the biggest APT prize pool ever up for grabs — be sure to check back here regularly for all the key moments as the Main Event gets closer to crowning its next champion.
