APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Ran Yi opened from early position with a 1,200 raise and was met with a three-bet to 4,500 from Tirajad Sirimueanphong in the big blind. Yi made the call, taking them to a 2♦ K♦ T♥ flop.

Sirimueanphong continued with a 2,500 bet, and Yi decided to call. On the K♥ turn, Sirimueanphong increased the pressure with a 7,000 bet—about half the pot—but Yi once again opted to call, eager to see the river.

Both players checked the K♣ river, and at showdown, Sirimueanphong tabled A♥ J♥ for a ace-high , only to see Yi turn over full house with T♦ T♠ , having flopped a monster. With that, Yi scooped up the pot.

From under the gun, Yohn Paredes fired 1,000 on a 4♣ J♦ 9♠ flop. He found calls from both Rajeev Kanjani, and Tirajad Sirimueanphong in the big blind.

The A♣ turn arrived, and Sirimueanphong checked. Paredes kept up the aggression with a 2,000 bet, and both opponents called once again.

On the K♠ river, the action checked to Paredes, who ramped up the pressure with a 10,000 bet. Kanjani opted to fold, but Sirimueanphong responded with an all in shove for about 25,000, putting his tournament life on the line.

Paredes snap-called and confidently tabled J♣ J♠ for a set of jacks, leaving Sirimueanphong disgusted as he revealed A♥ 4♥ for a turned two pair. With that, Paredes scooped the pot while Sirimueanphong hit the rail.

Tirajad Sirimueanphong and Yohn Paredes limped in from early position, but Rajeev Kanjani decided to raise it up to 1,300. Thijs Hilberts called, as did Sirimueanphong and Paredes called, creating a four-way pot.

The flop came 9♣ T♥ K♥ . The action checked to Kanjani, who continued with a 2,800 bet. Hilberts folded, while Sirimueanphong and Paredes called.

Three players saw the 5♣ turn. The action was checked over to Kanjani again, and he fired 5,600. Sirimueanphong tanked before making the call, while Paredes also tanked but ultimately folded, leaving it heads-up to the river.

The river brought the A♠ . Sirimueanphong eyed Kanjani’s stack and took so much time that eventually, the clock was called on him. He opted to check, and Kanjani checked behind.

Sirimueanphong tabled 6♥ 5♥ for a pair of fives, but Kanjani showed A♥ K♣ for top two pair to claim a healthy-sized pot.
