APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Ricoh-Shane Meno opened to 3,200 in late position and found a lone caller in Pattarapol Wannarat, seated to his immediate left. The two went to a J♥ 8♠ Q♣ flop, where both players checked while casually chatting.

The turn brought the 9♥ , prompting Meno to fire 2,100. Wannarat, still engaged in conversation, called without much hesitation.

On the river 3♣ , Meno ramped up the pressure with a 6,500 bet. This time, Wannarat finally let go of his hand, folding with a smile as their friendly exchange continued.
