APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Anant Purohit opened to 2,200 and found a caller in David Erquiaga from the big blind.

The dealer fanned the J♠ T♦ J♦ flop, prompting Erquiaga to check-raise Purohit’s 1,500 continuation bet up to 5,500. Purohit called.

The 8♣ landed on the turn. This time, Erquiaga check-called Purohit who led out for 5,500.

When the river fell 8♦ , Purohit moved all-in for his tournament life after Erquiaga checked.

Erquiaga snap-called after, tabling Q♥ T♥ for flopped two pair.

Purohit revealed his 4♥ 4♠ , stood up, and exited the table as Erquiaga raked in the pot, further padding his growing stack.

Joris Michl raised to 2,000 and was re-raised by Anant Purohit to 6,200. Action folded back to Michl, who pumped up the volume to 13,000. Purohit folded and Michl picked up a flopless scoop to improve his stack even more.
