APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Lianli Xu opened for 1,000, and got two callers—Jesse Rivera on the button and Joshua Chargualaf in the big blind.

The dealer fanned A♦ 7♣ 2♣ , and after the action was checked to him, Xu continued with a 1,500 bet, prompting both opponents to fold.

On the very next hand, Xu stayed active, opening for 700 and getting two callers again—this time Denis Semerenko on the button and Leonidas Panagiotopoulos in the big blind.

The dealer revealed a 5♠ 8♠ 3♠ flop, leading to a round of checks. Xu fired an 800 bet on the 2♣ turn, but Semerenko raised to 2,500, forcing Panagiotopoulos to fold. Xu called.

Both players checked the J♠ river. Xu tabled K♠ K♦ for a king-high flush, while Semerenko mucked his hand.
