APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Kwun Ngan opened the cutoff to 8,000 and Nontapat Wattana called in the small blind, which Manig Loeser three-bet to 20,000 from the big blind. Ngan called for his 13,900 chips, and Wattana also came along for the ride.

The action went check-check on the flop of 6♠ Q♦ 5♣ .

When an 8♣ hit on the turn, Wattana fired out 20,000, forcing Loeser to step aside.

Nontapat Wattana: J♣ T♣

Kwun Ngan: K♠ 9♠

Ngan’s king held the lead but Wattana had lots of outs.

The river bricked out a Q♠ to save the Hong Kong player’s tournament life with the sizable pot.
