The newest APT High Roller champion has re-entered the tournament and curiously, he’s playing again in the same table where he busted out earlier. We’re looking for more Torres vs. Sung Min Oh, the man responsible for his first elimination.
Post-flop 9♥ 8♦ K♣, Jojo Allado bet 450 and was up against a player with a bigger stack. His opponent called and both checked the turn 7♠ and river 4♥.
Allado was shown Q♣ Q♦ and his A♣ K♦ was good to scoop the pot. Allado has a stack worth just over the starting stack of 20,000.
This is probably why you never play garbage hands.
On a raised pot with a flop of J♣ 2♥ 3♣, Victorino Torres, this stop’s APT High Roller Champion, bet 900 to open the action. Sung Min Oh of Korea re-popped to roughly 3,000. Torres made the call to bring the turn 2♠.
Torres led with 2,200 this time and again saw a re-raise from the Korean who made it 10,000. The high-stakes champ did not hesitate and shoved his entire stack as a response.
Sung Min Oh: K♦ K♣
Torres: 2♣ 5♠
Torres was ahead and the Korean had a two-outer. And because the poker gods are not too nice to players who play garbage hands, the river K♠ arrived and booted out our high rollers champ.
KC Wu got his aggression out at every stage of betting to take down a nice pot against Austin Prakesh. During the hand, utg+1 raised to 400 and five players made the call. At the flop of A♠ 10♣ 6♠, utg+1 sent out 700, was called by Prakesh, but then raised to 2000 by Wu at the lojack position. Four of the players quickly folded, including the utg+1 initial bettor, but Prakesh called sending it to a heads up. At the turn of 7♥, Prakesh opted to check to Wu who slid out 3500 and Prakesh called. At the river of 9♥, Prakesh checked again, Wu moved all in for 5675 which Prakesh could afford, however he tanked for just a bit and decided to fold giving up a nice pot to Wu.
On a raised pot preflop, sb Nori Suzuki, mp Nicky Filart, co Adam Moneghan, and db Paul Hockin saw a board flop 7♦ 2♥ 6♣. Everyone checked to Hockin who banged out 1300 only to face a check-raise to 3000 from Suzuki as Filart and Moneghan folded. After tanking, Hockin relinquished the pot to a happy Suzuki.
Jose Drilon opened to 300 and saw George Rankin re-raise to 1,050. Compare to a last hand he responded with a three-bet, Drilon put on the breaks this time and just flatted.
Drilon would take stab at the pot with a 1,100 bet post-flop 8♣ 7♦ 2♦ but saw Rankin with a quick call. Both players checked the turn 6♠ and river X? and the players showed both ace-kings for a split pot.
Jose Drilon raised to 350 with one limper before him. In the big blind, Andrew Nguyen re-popped to 1,350 and the original limper folded.
Drilon studied his opponent before deciding on a three-bet. A smiling Nguyen snap folded his hand to give Drilon the pot.
Andrew Nguyen is one of the most active players in his table that featured the likes of Jose Drilon, Lester Edoc, Linh Tran, Richard Marquez and George Rankin.
In one hand, he bet 300 UTG to open the betting and saw a call from Edoc in late position.
The blinds folded to bring the flop 2♥ 4♠ J♥. Nguyen continued with 400 and Edoc called and the dealer turned 10♠. Nguyen stuck with his story and fired 1,000. Edoc called again and the river A♦ came.
Nguyen was consistent and send in a third barrel of 2,500 this time forcing a laughing Edoc to fold.
