APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

The action was picked up with Li Hsu all-in and at risk against Mike Takayama.

Li Hsu: J♣ T♠

Mike Takayama: Q♦ J♦

Although Hsu was crushed preflop, he spiked a pair on the T♣ 9♣ 4♥ flop, momentarily taking the lead. However, Takayama had an straight draw, giving him plenty of outs to send Hsu home

The 8♣ turn completed Takayama’s straight, but it also gave Hsu a flush draw, keeping his hopes alive for a potential comeback. Unfortunately for Hsu, the 3♥ river was a blank, failing to improve his hand.

With that, Hsu was eliminated, while Takayama raked in a massive pot and continued building his stack.
