APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Everything Dmitrii Belikov touches right now turns to gold!

Chuning Tan opened to 105,000 from under the gun and Belikov three-bet from the next seat to 260,000. It got back to Tan, who then four-bet to 425,000, only for Belikov to five-bet rip for around 1,900,000. Within a second, Tan called off his stack of 1,800,000.

Chuning Tan: K♥ K♦

Dmitrii Belikov: A♥ A♣

Tan found himself on the wrong end of the ultimate cooler and couldn't find any reprieve from the 6♦ 6♥ 4♥ 2♠ Q♣ runout, which meant he was eliminated.

Belikov, however, rockets up the counts and is closing in on four million!

Chuning Tan opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Niklas Warlich defended from the big blind.

The two went to a flop of A♠ 6♣ 4♠ where Warlich check-called a bet of 65,000 from Tan to see the 5♦ land on the turn. Here, Warlich switched up his strategy and elected to lead out for 90,000, which Tan called.

A 2♥ on the river saw Warlich throw in a time bank before he bet 400,000. Tan didn't seem too confident and threw away his A♣ J♠ , and Warlich scooped in the pot.

Vlada Stojanovic raised to 50,000 from the cut-off with Chuning Tan calling on the button and Cheng Zhou defending the big blind.

The flop came 8♦ 6♦ 4♦ and all three checked to see the Q♥ turn. Action fell to Tan, who fired 70,000. Zhou re-raised to 150,000. Stojanovic surrendered but Tan used two time bank tokens before making the call.

The K♥ dropped on the river casuing Zhou to check this time to Tan, who blasted 275,000 into the middle. It was Zhou's turn to use two time bank tokens before finally making the call. Tan showed Q♦ T♦ for a flopped flush while Zhou could only send his cards back to the dealer.

Chuning Tan made it 24,000 to go on the button and Andrew defended from the big blind.

On a flop of T♥ 5♥ T♠ , Nguyen checked it Tan, who continued for 18,000. Nguyen made the call to see the 3 turn, where Nguyen checked over and Tan sent a barrel of 45,000. Nguyen stuck around.

The river brought the Q♦ . Nguyen kept his strategy and checked again. Tan then shoved all in for around 390,000, and this made Nguyen toss his cards into the muck.

With his dwindling stack Janca found a suitable hand to go with just three players off the money. Chuning Tan called him and put the Lithuanian at risk.

Andrius Janca: K♦ K♠

Chuning Tan: 6♣ 7♣

The flop came out very unfortunate for Jance as it came 7♥ 6♦ 2♥ .

Janca was in big trouble, and neither the T♥ on the turn nor the 4♦ on the river could save him.
