APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Action was already heating up when Yu Ko Chin fired 4,000 from the button, getting a call from Wai Ho Choi in the small blind on a board of A♣ T♦ 3♣ K♦ .

The river 6♣ saw Choi tap the table. Chin, itching to pull the trigger but reining himself in, decided to check it back. Cards were flipped, and a wave of relief washed over Chin as he realized Choi was holding A♦ Q♦ — the exact same hand as his A♦ Q♥ .

The pot was split, and both players lived to fight another hand.

Choi Wai Ho began with a 300 raise from early position, only to be three-bet to 600 by Lam Sang Nguyen on the button, called by Ho.

The flop showed 3♦ Q♦ 2♦ , and Ho led out for 300, called by Nguyen.

Both players checked through the 2♥ turn. After the 7♠ on the river, Ho upped the aggression and threw 1000 into the middle, forcing Nguyen to let his hand go.
