Not Time to Let Quach Leave

Level 27: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Lars Kamphues

After two shoves, Gemmy maintained her aggression in the following hand

Quach open-jammed for 235,000 from under the gun and was called by Lars Kamphues from the hijack to put her at risk.

Lars Kamphues: K♣ J♣

Gemmy Quach: 8♦ 8♣

Quach picked up the lead with pocket eight and it was improved to a set on the flop of 8♥ 7♣ A♠ , leaving Kamphues a small chance to win.

The turn came a 6♣ , and Kamphues drew dead. The inconsequential J♥ hit on the river, giving Kamphues a pair, but it was no match for Quach’s set.

Three Streets Value for Kamphues

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Lars Kamphues

A flop filled out Q♠ T♦ 6♣ with around 11,000 chips in the middle when Nattawut Kwunsong checked over from the big blind. Lars Kamphues then sent a bet of 3,000 from the cutoff and Kwunsong called.

The turn showed an A♣ . Kwunsong checked to Kamphues again, who fired out 16,000. Kwunsong stuck around to see the 3♣ fall on the river, where Kwunsong sent another chunky bet of 30,000. Kamphues called.

Kwunsong tabled K♦ T♦ for a flopped pair of tens, but it was no match for a set of queens from Kamphues’s Q♥ Q♣ .

Spotlight on APT Manila Classic Main Event Day 2 Action

Good morning, poker enthusiasts!

The stage is set for Day 2 of APT Manila Classic Main Event, where 377 survivors from the four starting flights will converge at the Crowne Plaza and battle for a share of the PHP 60,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. With 1,146 entries recorded across all starting flights, the number is expected to rise as registration remains open until the start of play.

The action kicks off at 11:00 AM local time. Blinds begin at 800/1,600 with a big blind ante of 1,600. A 15-minute break is scheduled every two levels, and contestants will play through 60-minute levels until making it into the money.

Leading the pack in Day 2 is Japan’s Tomoki Terashima, who amassed an impressive stack of 347,300 after navigating through Flight A. Close behind is Austria’s Matthias Lipp. He bagged up 345,000 chips, less than two big blinds gap from the chip leader.
