APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Marcus Law raised on the button for 2,600,000 - leaving 300,000 behind. Big blind Rintaro Kagawa mistook it for an all-in and threw in a chip to call.

Nevertheless, he matched the 2,600,000 and a flop of Q♥ 2♥ 4♣ was opened.

Kagawa then put in a stack of chips to cover Law. Law threw in a whole bunch of time banks and looked at the other table which also had an all-in situation.

Law waited until the hand on the other table was completed and if the other player would bust-out. Why? Simple answer - Pay jump.

When news of Powen Fang busting out was done, Law pushed in his chips.

Marcus Law: 8♠ 8♦

Rintaro Kagawa: A♥ J♥

Law was ahead but had to avoid the 15 outs of Kagawa.

The 2♠ on the turn kept Law ahead and hopeful, but the 4♥ river ended his run in 13th place.

Akira Takasugi opened from under the gun to 400,000 and only big blind Marcus Law defended to play.

The flop arrived: 5♠ 2♠ 8♠ and Law check-called Takasugi's bet of 300,000 to open a 3♠ turn.

Check-check and a 5♥ was dealt on the river. Law tapped over to Takasugi who put in 1,000,000. Law folded.

Chong checked the K♥ turn to Law, who fired another barrel of 900,000. Chong tagged along.
