APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Kunal Patni and Shigenon Komatsu were studying a board of 9♠ K♥ K♠ 6♥ beside a pot of nearly 20,000. Patni checked from the small blind, allowing Komatsu to fire 12,000, which was called by Patni.

Both players checked when the 9♦ dropped on the river. Komatsu showed 5♥ 5♣ , playing the board as his pocket pair didn’t improve. Patni tabled A♦ J♣ , with his ace playing to make the better hand and take down the pot, depleting Komatsu’s stack.
