APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

On a flop of K♦ 9♦ Q♥ , three players checked, leaving the action to Tetsuya Tsujisaka in the cutoff, who fired a 2,000 bet. Hao Huang, on the button, folded, while Oliver Serrie, in the small blind, made the call. Tanawat U-Snit, in the big blind, decided to let his hand go.

The turn brought the K♣ , and the river 2♠ , with both players opting to check it down to a showdown. Tsujisaka tabled Q♠ 6♠ , revealing a two-pair, while Serrie showed T♣ 9♣ , having flopped a pair. With U-Snit already out of the hand, Tsujisaka raked in the pot.

Immediately after that win, though still below the starting stack, Tsujisaka opened to 800. U-Snit once again called, but this time, Melchor Vasquez, now in the big blind, decided to turn up the heat with a three-bet to 3,500. Tsujisaka wasted no time and shoved all-in for around 26,000, forcing both opponents to fold and securing another pot.

Tetsuya Tsujisaka raised to 700 from the hijack and received three callers: Mac Hoa called from the cutoff, Olivier Serrie and Tanawat U-Snit from the blinds.

Four players read a flop of 8♦ T♣ 9♥ , and the blinds checked over. Tsujisaka made a continuation-bet of 2,800. Only Serrie made the call. The A♠ hit on the turn, and it went check-check.

The 4♠ landed on the river, where both players checked to a free showdown. After Tsujisaka revealed Q♦ J♠ for flopped a straight, Serrie threw his cards back to the dealer.
