APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

The action was picked up on the turn with a board running out 9♣ Q♦ 6♠ A♠ and 17,700 chips in the middle. Mun Cheong checked from the big blind to Vladimir Egorov on the button, who then fired out 10,000. Cheong called.

The river showed a J♦ and it went check-check. Cheong tabled a flopped pair of nines with K♠ 9♠ , and failed to overcome a higher pair of jacks from Egorov’s K♦ J♥ .
