APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Chi Fan Hsu was dreaming of a "chip and a chair" comeback — the kind made famous by the legendary Treetop Strauss (if you remember him). But as happens more often than not, this story would end in expected heartbreak.

Everyone folded to late position, where Ho Tak Lee opened to 1,600. In the big blind, with only 600 left behind, Hsu had no choice but to go all-in, putting his Main Event life on the line.

Chi Fan Hsu: Q♥ T♠

Ho Tak Lee: K♣ 9♦

Sadly, any hope for a miracle was dashed the moment Hsu saw Lee's cards but waited for the dealer to spread a board of 5♥ 2♠ 4♣ K♥ Q♣ .

When the turn card landed, sealing his fate, Hsu quietly stood up and left the table — not even bothering to watch the river fall.
