APT High Roller (200,000 PHP)

Andrija Robovic opened to 32,000 from the cutoff, only to face a three-bet to 90,000 from Thanisorn Saelor in the small blind. Robovic responded with a shove, and Saelor snap-called for his tournament life with a stack of around 470,000.

Thanisorn Saelor: A♥ A♣

Andrija Robovic: J♠ J♥

Saelor found himself in a dream scenario, poised to soar up the chip counts with his pocket rockets. The 8♦ 5♦ Q♦ flop kept him comfortably ahead, as neither player held a diamond. The 6♦ turn, however, introduced some late sweat, giving Robovic a chance to chop with a four-card flush on board.

But the Q♣ river sealed the deal for Saelor, locking up the double and boosting his stack toward the one-million mark.
