APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

The board showed A♥ 7♦ T♣ with around 7,000 chips in the middle. Kenneth Anthony bet 2,500 from the hijack and Masayuki Murata called on the button.

Both players saw a K♦ land on the river, where Anthony sent another bet of 8,000. Murata folded and Anthony pulled in the pot.

Kenneth Anthony made it 500 to go on the button and received two callers in Dale Townsend from the small blind, and Dale Johnstone out of the big blind.

The three player saw a monotone flop of 5♥ Q♥ 3♥ fall, which they all checked to see the 6♠ hit the turn. Townsend checked it to Johnstone, who fired 1,200. Anthony called, but Townsend folded.

The river brought the 7♣ . Johnstone checked this time and Anthony sent out a bet of 5,000. This didn’t deter Johnstone though, as he made the call. Anthony showed a rivered straight with 5♦ 4♣ , leaving Johnstone no choice but to toss his cards into the muck.
