APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

With the board showing 7♥ 6♠ T♠ and a pot of 12,000, Suparerk Totsaponvisad fired 3,300 from middle position after the action was checked to him by Nattawut Kwunsong in the small blind. Heesung Kang, seated on the button, made the call, as did Kwunsong, keeping the hand three-way to the turn.

When the J♥ landed on the turn, Kwunsong—who had been quiet all hand—suddenly shoved all-in, catching his opponents off guard.

Totsaponvisad tanked, visibly struggling to put Kwunsong on a hand. After a long pause, he ultimately decided to fold. Kang, equally puzzled, asked for a count, checked his stack, and eventually mucked his hand as well.

With no showdown, Kwunsong casually revealed the 8♥ , leaving both opponents wondering—was it a bluff or a monster? Totsaponvisad, eager to know if he made the right laydown, pressed for an answer, but Kwunsong simply smirked and remained silent, keeping the mystery alive.

Nattawut Kwunsong raised to 600 from cutoff and was called by Abdullah Akbarpoor out of the small blind, and Supanat Rojsukthavorn from the big blind.

The flop came 5♣ 8♠ A♦ and the action checked to Kwunsong, who bet 1,200 which forced two folds from his opponents.

In the next hand, Kwunsong raised to 800 with Akbarpoor calling from the button, and Shuma Kimura defending his big blind.

The three players were shown a flop of 7♦ 5♦ T♣ where the action checked around for the 4♠ to appear on the turn. All three players checked to see the Q♣ land on the river. Action checked to Akbarpoor on the button, who fired 1,100. Kimura called before Kwunsong check-raised it to 3,800. Akbarpoor folded but Kimura carved out the call

Kwusong flashed K♠ Q♥ for a pair of queens. Kimura didn't bother to show and the pot was sent to Kwusong.

Thailand's Nattawut Kwunsong, who already has a cash under his belt this series in the Philippines National Cup, just took down a pot to pad out his stack a little.

Zhiyu Wang has raised from the hijack to 800 and Kwunsong called in the cutoff. Abdullah Akbarpoor also came along from the big blind.

The flop fell Q♠ 8♣ K♥ where the action checked to Kwunsong, who fired out 1,300. Akbarpoor folded, but Wang stuck in the call.

Both then checked through to showdown on the 9♦ turn and K♠ river, where Wang showed ace-high holding A♠ J♠ , but he was second best to the Q♥ 5♥ of Kwunsong, who paired his queen.
