APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Arriving at the action on a flop of 2♠ A♥ 7♥ , Gilbert Fook, acting from the small blind, had moved all in over an 8,500 bet from Nishant Kumar in middle position.

Gilbert Fook: Q♥ T♥

Nishant Kumar: 7♦ 7♠

Fook was dismayed to see Kumar had flopped a set but remained in good spirits, needing a heart to stay alive. "I'm back in action!" the Mauritian exclaimed as the dealer turned the 8♥ , completing his flush and keeping his tournament hopes alive. The Q♠ river changed nothing, and Kumar was left counting the cost of a heavy hit.

Newly registered Gilbert Tin and big blind Nishant Kumar were staring at a board of 4♣ A♣ A♠ Q♥ with around 7,500 in the middle.

Kumar tapped over to Fook who released 6,000 to the middle. Kumar took his time and eventually gave way.

Fook exclaimed as he stacked his chips, "first hand, first pot. Good future."

Yee How Lee called from middle position only to be three-bet by Nishant Kumar from the button to the tune of 2,500, which Lee eventually called.

Following the 9♦ J♥ 2♣ flop, Kumar fired off a further 1,800 bet which proved too much for Lee as he let the hand go.
