APT High Roller (200,000 PHP)

Action was picked up with two players with their stacks in the middle of the pot for an all-in showdown - Xin Ann Lim, at risk, in small blind and Seungmook Jung under the gun.

Xin Ann Lim: Q♣ Q♥

Seungmook Jung: A♥ J♥

Lim was ahead with his pocket queens when the flop came 7♦ 9♣ T♦ giving Jung more outs with a gut-shot straight draw. the turn 2♣ maintained Lim's lead while Jung was left to hope to improve his hand. Jung's prayers were answered when the 8♥ dropped on the river completing his straight and earning him the double-up.

Action was picked up with the three shortest stacks at Table #13 all-in, each hoping to chip up and extend their tournament run. Florencio Campomanes, who covered both Sung Jin Yun and Xin Ann Lim, had a chance to eliminate them both and boost his stack to at least the tournament average.

Sung Jin Yun: K♣ 9♦

Xin Ann Lim: A♦ A♠

Florencio Campomanes: K♦ Q♦

The dealer fanned out a 8♥ A♣ 3♥ flop, giving Lim a set and a near-certain double-up, while Yun was left drawing dead. The 5♥ turn and 8♦ river only strengthened Lim’s hand into a full house. He scooped the pot, Yun was eliminated, and Campomanes was left visibly frustrated.
