APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

By the time the TV cameras and announcers reached the table, the board was already out and showed 8♥ 6♥ A♠ 3♦ Q♠ . David Berlin was all-in and at risk, with Chun-Yu Wu having made the call on the river in an attempt to bust him. Once given the all-clear by the production team, the players revealed their hands:

David Berlin: A♥ K♦

Chun-Yu Wu: Q♥ 3♥

Berlin’s Big Slick had the advantage on the flop, but you can never discount the reliable backdoor two-pair draw, and Wu was the one who managed to hit it. Cheers and a round of applause filled the room as the remaining 375 players secured their spots in the money of the largest and richest APT Main Event ever. Berlin, the unfortunate bubble boy of the tournament, took a video of his exit hand and quietly left the room.
