APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Action was picked up with the dealer adjusting the hole cards for Dawid Smolka and Kwok Chun Yip, both all-in and awaiting the showdown.

Kwok Chun Yip: A♦ K♠

Dawid Smolka: 3♠ 3♥

At first glance, it looked like Yip was heading for the exit as the dealer fanned out a flop of T♥ 5♠ 8♠ , keeping Smolka’s pocket threes firmly in the lead. Holding his breath, Smolka stood ready to eliminate and stack up— but the turn crushed his hopes when the K♣ landed, flipping the advantage to Yip.

The river 2♠ sealed it, sending the pot to Yip for a timely double-up.
