APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

With just over ten players left in the money, Daniel Neilson turned up the heat at his table, applying constant pressure with repeated open-raises to 12,000—almost every hand.

Eventually, Yu-Sung Chen, seated in the big blind, decided to challenge Neilson’s middle-position raise with a call. The dealer fanned a flop of T♥ 6♥ J♠ , and after a check from Chen, Neilson continued his aggression with an 11,000-chip bet—enough to take the pot uncontested once again.

Neilson’s tablemates had grown so accustomed to his relentless raising that on the very next hand, they didn’t even notice he had folded under the gun. When players waited for him to act, Neilson playfully mimed a 12,000-chip raise, drawing laughter all around.
