APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Seungyeol Kim made it 15,000 from middle position before Kimiaki Nakamura three-bet to 45,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Kim he did some inventory, and then shoved all of his 110,000 into the middle. Nakamura happily called.

Seungyeol Kim: K♣ K♠

Kimiaki Nakamura: A♥ K♥

Kim was ahead with Cowboys, but Nakamura had an ace and hearts working for her.

The dealer fanned out a flop of A♦ Q♣ 8♥ to which a roar was heard from the rest of the field, as they knew Kim was likely to bust, sending everyone just one more elimination away from the money.

The turn was the 3♦ , leaving Kim with one out heading to the river.

There was no miracle for Kim as the 6♥ rolled off on the river, and he was out in 377th place. The next palyer eliminated would be the last to leave empty-handed.

First to act, Kimiaki Nakamura opened to 8,000 and the action was folded all the way around to the two players to his right, James Mendoza in the small blind and Greg "Greg Goes All-in" Liow in big.

Mendoza led out with 12,000 on the flop of 9♣ T♠ 8♣ . Without hesitation, Liow goes all-in making Nakamura fold.

Mendoza and Liow have a little bit of an exchange with Liow ending the chat with, "you can fold."

But Mendoza didn't need the advice of Liow and made a one chip call putting Liow at risk and taking them to showdown.

Greg Liow: 6♥ 7♥

James Mendoza: Q♦ 9♦

Mendoza should have listened to Liow as his pair and gutshot were far behind Liow's made straight. Upon seeing this Mendoza started setting his chips aside to match Liow's all-in.

The turn Q♣ did give Mendoza further outs but the 2♦ river sealed Liow's double up.
