APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Gedong Li opened to 1,000 and was three-bet by Jimin Lee on the button to 3,500. Nattawat Soontanont decided to four-bet jam for his tournament life out of the small blind. The initial raiser Li folded, while Lee called.

Nattawat Soontanont: J♥ J♦

Jimin Lee: A♠ A♦

Soontanont prayed he could crack Lee’s aces as he nervously waited for the deal. Flop came down 7♥ 4♣ 6♥ with no jacks to upset Lee’s lead. The 9♣ turn and 5♠ river dashed Soontanont’s hopes to stay in the tournament. Soontanont left the table as Lee scooped the pot.

Hakamada Eisuke opened 600 from the hijack and Jimin Lee defended from the big blind.

On the A♦ 3♣ K♣ flop, Lee checked to Eisuke, who continued with a bet of 1,500. Lee dropped in a call to see the 2♣ turn, where Lee checked over again. Eisuke then fired out 4,000. Lee stuck around.

The river came a T♥ . Lee checked and Eisuke sent a barrel of 15,000, which Lee shoved all in. Eisuke snap-called off his remaining chips. Lee quickly flipped pocket deuces, and it was no match for a Broadway straight from Eisuke’s Q♦ J♠ , which earned him a sizable pot and left Lee on the fumes with only 400 chips on hand.
