Lion Lee from an early position opened to 2,500 preflop and found two callers in Mark Rivera and a mid-position player.
Flop: A♦ 8♦ 3♠
Rivera checked and the mid-position player shoved his stack worth around 22,000. Lion Lee folded but Rivera made the call for a huge-pot showdown:
Mid-Position Player: A♠ K♠
Rivera: 8♠ 8♥
The turn 3♦ added outs for the Rivera’s oppoent but no ace on the river 10♠ means a big win for Rivera, who has now over 70,000 in chips!
Main Event Day 1B Crowd
Unofficial count so far is that we have 226 players for Day 1B. Add yesterday’s 159 for Day 1A and we have a total of 385 runners for this APT Asian Series Main Event!
This is the second highest all-time in ANY APT event with the APT Asian Series Manila 2011 Main Event as #1 with 396 runners two years ago.
From the big blind, Hiroyuki Tanaka faced an all-in from a short-stacked player with around 4,625 in chips.
With A♠ Q♠ it was an easy decision for the Japanese as he went into a showdown vs the short-stacked player with J♠ 8♦.
Flop: A♣ 2♦ K♠
Turn: 7♣
River: 8♥
Tanaka ousts his opponent and climbs to roughly 23,000.
Post flop of 5♦ 3♥ K♦ a mid position player raised to 1,100, which Norbert Koh called to bring the turn 10♥.
MP player led out again, this time with 2,400. And Koh once again called.
River A♠ completed the board and both players checked.
Koh was shown the opponent’s hand K♠ J♠ and he mucked his hand. Koh, who has re-entered earlier in this level, drops to around 15,000.
In a raised pot, Mudgal checked a flop of 5♣ 8♣ 2♠ and saw Nam Le bet 900 and a mid-position player raise to 2,400.
Mudgal made the call but Le got out of the way to bring the turn Q♦.
Both players checked and the river 2♦ arrived when Mudgal check-called his opponent’s bet of 3,100.
Good decision as the opponent quickly mucked his hand giving the pot to Mudgal, who has still around 25,000 to work with.
In a previous entry– Norbert KO’d we reported of Mr. Koh’s bustout via Ace-Jack.
He’s back with a vengeance after re-entering in today’s Day 1B.
Will he do better this time?
Norbert Koh is out of the tournament after he fell against an opponent’s ducks.
From the button a player raised and Koh re-popped with a shove from the big blind. The button player called and we’re off to the races:
Koh: A♣ J♦
Opponent: 2♦ 2♠
Koh breathed a sigh of relief after the flop showed an A♦ but that would be short-lived when the river 2♥ came completing his opponent’s set.
