APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Kim Enriquez raised to 3,000 from the hijack and received three callers: Thanapipat Peesanough on the button, Kwonhwan Mun and Anant Purohit from the blinds.

Four players read a flop of A♦ 8♠ 8♦ , and the blinds checked to Enriquez, who continued for 4,400, which only Mun dropped in a call to see the Q♣ fall on the turn. The action went check-check.

The 7♥ landed on the river, where Mun fired out 25,000. After tanking for a long time, Enriquez still couldn't make up his mind. Eventually, Mun had to call the floor for the time. Another one minute passed, Enriquez finally made the call. Mun revealed an unbeatable full house with 8♣ 7♠ , leaving Enriquez no choice but to forfeit the pot and muck his cards.

Action was picked up with Anant Purohit all-in from the small blind for his tournament life, facing a call from Kwonhwan Mun on the button.

Anant Purohit: K♠ 9♣

Kwonhwan Mun: A♣ T♦

The dealer spread the 8♣ 8♥ Q♠ flop, keeping Mun in the lead with ace-high. However, the K♥ turn changed everything, giving Purohit a crucial pair, making a hue smile cross his face. Mun still had outs and was hoping to hit, but the 7♠ river didn’t improve his hand.

With that, Purohit secured the double-up and stayed alive in the tournament, happily scooping the pot.
