APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Tung Man Tam opened with 1,200 and got called by Vu Do Tien on the button and Ruei Liang in big blind. All three saw a flop of 7♠ 3♠ 8♦ .

With action checked, Tam continued with 5,000, enough to push Tien out of the way. But Liang decided to crank up the heat and raised to 7,500. Tam called.

The 5♣ turn saw Liang putting maximum pressure by betting 30,000 forcing Tam all-in. Hesitantly, Tam made the call putting himself at risk.

Tung Man Tam: T♠ 9♠

Ruei Liang: T♣ 9♣

The inconsequential river K♦ was dealt. Tam was so happy to have the same hand as Liang that he reproached the other for scaring him.

The dealer split the pot with no further drama.
