Feng Zhao won here last year in the APT Philippines 2014 Main Event. If he wants a repeat he needs to outplay and beat the likes of Tetsuya Tsuchikawa, who got a nice win off Zhao in a recent hand.
Pre-flop, Tetsuya opened for 400 and saw Zhao from mid-position re-raise to 1,300. Tetsuya wanted more and three-bet to 3,100, which was called by Zhao.
Tet opened with 2,700 post-flop 5♥ 9♦ J♠ and was called by Zhao.
Both checked the turn 4♣ and on the river 3♥, Tet added 5,500 to the middle… Enough to force the fold from the “Harry Potter” of Asian poker.
