APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

On a flop of 7♠ T♣ 8♣ with around 8,000 already in the pot, Takeo Kimura led out for 2,400 from middle position after Chien Hsun Wang, under the gun, checked. But Laitai Chung, seated on the button, had other plans and raised it up to 5,000. Refusing to back down, Wang responded with a re-raise to 10,000.

Caught in the crossfire, Kimura looked visibly confused and frustrated before deciding to four-bet to 27,000. Unable to withstand the mounting pressure, Chung finally let go of his hand. But Wang wasn’t going anywhere—he shoved all-in, and Kimura snap-called, setting up a massive showdown.

Chien Hsun Wang: 8♥ 8♦

Takeo Kimura: 9♠ 9♣

Wang had flopped a set, but Kimura was drawing live with numerous outs. The turn K♦ offered no help, and when the river T♥ landed, it sealed the deal—giving Wang a full house and a massive double-up.
