HomeQuick reminder, one of the popular side events– MegaSportsWorld Deep Stack Turbo– in the APT is happening tonight at 7:00 p.m. Buy-in is at $170 and over a hundred at least is expected to join that tournament.
From middle position, Euryd Rivera opened for 225 and saw three callers including Johnson Tan and both blinds.
The player from the small blind initiated after the flop 6♦ 4♠ 7♠ and forced Rivera and the big blind out. From the button, Tan made the call.
Both players checked the turn 6♣ but Tan led out with 1,200 after the river 4♥ was checked to him.
SB player thought for a bit before giving up the pot to Tan, who still has around the starting stack of 20,000.
Some preflop action at Linh Duong’s table.
Duong bet 225 to open the action and saw the big blind player re-pop to 1,075. Duong, who is one of the early chip leaders, wouldn’t have none of it and three-bet to 4,300.
BB player tanked for 2 minutes before making the fold.
APT regulars, former APT champions and some popular players are here.

Akihiko Hasumi has just taken away all of someone’s chips in quite a cooler hand. At the flop of 3♣ 7♠ 4♣, Hasumi checked his option to the utg player who bet out 800, got called by the cutoff player, but when action was back at Hasumi, he bumped it up to a massive 7000 sending the utg into the tank for some time until he decided to go for the gusto and shove all his chips in the middle. Quickly folding was the cutoff player but not Hasumi who quickly shoved back. At the showdown, utg had 4♥ 4♠ for a set but was sorely behind Haumi’s 7♣ 7♦. With the turn of 6♣ and river of 6♠, Hasumi was shipped all the chips as the utg bowed out of the table.
In a hand we caught at the flop of 9♥ J♥ 2♦, cutoff player Luke Pangan bet 300 and was check-called by small blind player Aaron Lam. At the turn of 8♥, both players checked, but on the river of K♠, things got tense when Lam bet 550, raised to 3000 by Pangan, then reraised to 8750 by Lam. After a few nods of respect, Pangan bowed out of the hand and Lam showed an A♥.
On a raised pot preflop, hijack player Choi Hyeong Wook batted out 750 on a board showing 10♦ K♠ 6♦ and his opponents on the cutoff and small blind seats both called. At the turn of A♣, everyone checked all around, but on the river of 3♣, action was checked to Hyeong Wook who sent out 1375 which was good enough to take the pot as his opponents folded.
Guess we have found a chip leader very early into Day 1B.
Linh Duong told us that he indulged in a series of raises and reraises with a player on a king-high flop.
He sure was glad he did because he was holding aces and apparently his opponent just had a king-seven.
Just like that, 8 minutes into the day Duong doubled up to roughly 40,000 (easy math there too).
