APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Tension filled the air at The Red Space as hand-for-hand play was in progress with only three players left until the money.

Yeow Chong was all-in for his tournament life and found a caller in Shuzo Sekine.

Yeow Chong: A♦ A♥

Shuzo Sekine: K♣ K♠

The drama was short-lived as the window card delivered salvation—Chong flopped a set on 3♣ A♠ 6♥ . The runout of T♣ T♠ improved his hand to a full house, securing a crucial double-up just shy of the bubble

The hand was already in motion on a flop of J♦ J♥ 4♠ . Action checked to David Erquiaga, who led out for 6,000. Shuzo Sekine, seated to his right and the only other player in the hand, made the call.

On the J♣ turn, Sekine checked again, prompting a 12,000 continuation bet from Erquiaga, which he once more called.

The river brought the A♠ , and the pattern continued—Sekine checked, and Erquiaga fired a hefty 80,000. After a brief pause, Sekine tossed in the call.

Erquiaga confidently tabled J♦ T♦ for quads, prompting an immediate muck from Sekine.
