APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

A flop of Q♠ 2♦ 6♥ had hit the baize with around 5,000 chips in the middle. Raphael Bulaong checked from the big blind to Hua Han in the hijack, who fired 1,500. Bulaong called.

The 4♠ fell on the turn, where Bulaong checked to Han again, who sent 3,000, which her opponent put in a raise to 7,700. Han then put a blue pile and re-raised 40,000. However, this didn’t deter Bulaong from calling off his remaining 20,600 chips.

Raphael Bulaong: Q♣ 4♦

Hua Han: Q♥ 9♣

Bulaong had taken the lead with a turned two pair and looked likely to scoop the huge pot. However, the river 9♠ improved Han to a superior two pair, sending Bulaong to the rail.
