APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Kohei Suzuki raised to 800 from early position. Tsz Him Chan called from the cutoff and Nantawat Sripirom joined in from the small blind.

The three players were given a flop of 8♦ 5♣ J♥ Sripirom checked the action to Suzuki who bet 1,000. Both Chan and Sripirom called.

The 2♠ landed on the turn, which got a checked by Sripiriom and Suzuki. Chan fired out a pot-sized bet of 3,600, which only Sripirom called to see the 4♥ river. The two players checked and Sripirom took down the pot with 7♠ 6♥ for the nut straight on the river.

On a board of 4♦ 3♥ 2♦ J♥ and with roughly 2,000 in the pot, Nantawat Sripirom, in middle position, bet 1,200 and was called by Collin Gentner on the button.

The river A♦ ignited a flurry of action. After it was checked to him, Gentner fired 5,600. Sripirom responded with a raise to 16,000, only to be met with an all in shove from Gentner. Frustrated, Sripirom took a moment to assess his stack before making the call for his tournament life.

Nantawat Sripirom: Q♦ 9♦

Collin Gentner: K♦ 7♦

Both players had rivered a flush a flush, but Sripirom could only shake his head as he saw Gentner’s higher flush, sending him to the rail.

Nantawat Sripirom, Kai An Chuang and Hanna Khalife were staring at a pot of over 20,000. Beside the pot was a board that showed 6♥ 4♥ 9♥ 4♣ A♥ , and Chuang had shoved all in for his last 25,500. The action was on Khalife, who went into deep thought and probably had an out-of-body experience while dreaming of unicorns.

The dealer had to alert the floor and Khalife was given a countdown to make her decision. Khalife eventually made the call and Sripirom wisely folded.

Hanna Khalife: K♥ Q♣

Kai An Chuang: T♣ 9♦

Khalife had a king-high flush while Chuang had two pair, nines and fours, meaning Chuang was out of the Main Event.

Khalife admitted her flush felt uncomfortable with the paired board as she scooped up the huge pot and became one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Mirko Stojkov raised to 300 from early position. Renaud Nauder called on the button and Nantawat Sripirom defended the big blind.

The three players were treated to a flop of 8♥ 4♠ Q♦ where Srirpom checked first. Stojkov fired 500 into the pot, which both Nauder and Sriripom called.

The J♣ turn got checked through to see the 4♥ drop on the river. Sriripom led out with 1,000 and found no customers.
