APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

It's the end of the road for Gemmy Quach.

After Quach opened to 225,000 from the cutoff, Dmitrii Belikov three-bet the button to 500,000. The blinds quickly got out of the way, and with the action back on Quach, she moved all in for 1,500,000. Belikov took just ten seconds before making the call.

Gemmy Quach: K♥ J♦

Dmitrii Belikov: A♦ Q♠

Quach was all in and behind but had already escaped from a similar spot earlier in the day. She hoped history would repeat itself.

The flop came K♠ 3♦ 4♣ , pairing Quach’s king and leaving Belikov with just three outs. The turn 9♥ was a blank, but the river A♠ delivered a heartbreaking end to Quach’s Main Event run.

Players have been sent on a 60-minute dinner break.

Here's a peek at the counts while the players fuel up.

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.

Gemmy Quach open-shoved for 820,000 from middle position and Po Shuo Huang also moved all in for 620,000 from the hijack to put himself at risk.

Gemmy Quach: A♦ K♠

Po Shuo Huang: J♠ J♦

Huang was slightly ahead with pocket jacks as the dealer swiftly dealt the board: 4♦ Q♦ 9♥ 2♣ 2♠ claiming Quanch's recently earned double-up from the last hand.

Dimitri Belikov raised to 120,000 from early position and Gemmy Quach shoved all-in the next seat over for her last 270,000 chips. Small blind Lars Kamphues threw in a time bank token before finally deciding to make the call. Belikov stood down and left the two players for a showdown.

Lars Kamphues 9♣ 9♥

Gemmy Quach A♣ 4♣

The flop came T♥ Q♦ 3♥ keeping Kamphues in the lead.

The turn showed a 5♥ and gave Quach more outs with a gutshot.

The poker gods threw in a 2♠ on the river to award Quach a straight and keep her Main Event championship dream alive.

Dmitrii Belikov opened the cutoff to 50,000 and Gemmy Quach shoved all in for 235,000 on the button. Belikov dropped in a call to put Quach at risk.

Gemmy Quach: K♦ 9♥

Dmitrii Belikov: A♦ 4♥

Belikov held the lead with an ace, but Quach soon took it over as the flop ran out 2♦ 9♠ 5♠ , improving her to a pair of nines.

The turn 8♥ and river T♥ couldn’t send help to Belikov, shipping a double-up to Quach.

Delight for Dmitrii Belikov, but dismay for Gemmy Quach after a brutal river card!

Belikov opened to 500,000 from the hijack, leaving himself just 400,000 behind. Quach, sitting in the cutoff, shoved for around 1,600,000, and when the action folded back to Belikov, he called for his tournament life.

Dmitrii Belikov: A♠ Q♥

Gemmy Quach: A♥ K♦

Quach had Belikov dominated and on the verge of elimination, with her Big Slick holding firm through the 2♠ T♥ J♥ flop. The 4♣ turn erased any chop possibilities, leaving Belikov down to a single out—a king for Broadway.

Just when it looked like Quach was about to claim a massive pot and thin down the field, the cruel K♠ landed on the river, flipping the script in dramatic fashion. A hammer blow for Quach, but pure elation for Belikov, who let out a smirk as he raked in the pot.

Gemmy Quach made it 95,000 to go from under the gun with Jie Zhang and Michihiko Matsuda calling from the blinds.

Three players checked through the flop of K♠ 3♠ 5♠ to see the 4♠ fall on the turn, where Zhang checked over and Matsuda fired out 150,000. Quach folded and Zhang made the call.

The board-pairing 4♥ hit on the river. Zhang checked to Matsuda, who sent another barrel of 400,000, which successfully to make Zhang muck the hand.

Dimitri Belikov raised to 60,000 from under the gun. Gemmy Quach re-raised to 130,000 on the button. Belikov threw in a time bank token for effect before shoving all-in. Quach made the immediate call.

Gemmy Quach A♦ A♣

Dimitri Belikov J♥ J♠

Board ran 8♦ Q♣ T♦ 4♦ 4♠

Quach was nervous at the flop, but was elated when the river came to secure her the win.

The action was missed out, but the Vietnamese blogger Gemmy Quach enthusiastically shared her crucial hand, delivering elimination to Anusorn Asiralertsiri with us.

Quan raised from early position and was jammed by Asiralertsiri on the button, which she dropped in a call.

Anusorn Asiralertsiri: A♥ J♦

Gemmy Quach: 6♠ 6♦

In the classic coin flip, Quagn held the lead with pocket sixes. Asiralertsiri was improved into the top pair on the flop of 4♦ A♦ 6♣ , but it was not enough to face off a set of sixes from Quan. The female player’s set even further bloomed into a full house with the 5♠ turn and river 4♠ coming down.

Asiralertsiri was sent out of the tournament by the handsome Vietnamese blogger, who started Day 4 with just over six hundred thousand chips and has now crossed the one-million milestone.

Hayama Miei of Japan and Ngoc Huyen Quach of Vietnam are the last two women who still have their Main Event championship dreams alive.

Both ladies have a pretty decent stack.

Po-Shuo Huang raised to 40,000 from early position. Ngoc Huyen Quach three-bet raised to 120,000.

Huang threw in a time bank token and then announced all-in. Quach went into careful consideration with Huang covering her stack. Quach also used up a time bank token and went into the tank before she decied to finally fold, flashing an A♥ K♥ that brought some "oohs" from the table.

Joris Michl made it 6,000 to go from late position and received three callers: Nattawut Kwunsong from the hijack, Leon De from the cutoff, and Ngoc Quach from the big blind.

Four players saw a flop of 9♥ 4♠ Q♥ and all checked through.

The 4♦ hit on the turn, where Quach fired out 13,000 and this was followed by a string of folds from all other male players.
