HomeAfter losing a few hands in our previous reports, we saw Neil Arce take one down. With a limper behind him, Arce made it 500 and saw Jojo Tech make the call. The limper called for a three-way action on the flop K♥ 3♥ 10♦.
Tech bet 700, limper folded his hand and Arce flat-called to bring the turn 9♣. Both players checked allowing the dealer to board the river 10♥ where Tech check-folded to Arce’s 2,200 bet. Arce had 7♥ 6♥.
Gifted with pocket aces and a flop of A♠ 5♦ Q♦, Ash Lopez from the big blind led out with 800 and saw calls from the cut-off and the small blind (Simon Lim).
The turn A♦ made it even better for Ash, who now has quads. He led out for another 1,050 and got a call from the CO player as Lim folded. On the river 8♦, Lopez shoved but failed to get the call from his opponent. Perhaps a check on the river would have been better?
On a flop of A♦ 10♥ 10♠, Linh Tran added 550 to the middle and got a call from Tan Gay Peng. Tran added more on the turn 2♠ for 1,250 and river 4♦ for 4,500 and was called both times by Peng.
Tran shows trips with J♣ 10♣ and Peng mucked his hand
From the cut-off, Sebastian Benz opened to 300 but saw the small blind raise to 1,500. Benz responded with a re-raise to 4,000 only to see a three-bet to 9,000! Benz shoved his stack and got the call from the small blind for a showdown!
Benz: A♣ A♥
Small Blind: J♦ J♥
Benz was comfortably ahead in this one but needed to avoid a jack for his tournament life. The dealer boarded 2♦ K♣ 9♦ A♦ 2♥ and Benz stays in the Main Event now with over 45,000.
From under-the-gun, Nang Quang Nguyen opened with 425 and had two callers behind. Flop 3♣ 10♥ 8♣ arrived and he puts in another 625– button player called while the small blind folded.
On the turn, Nang Quang fires another 1,550– and forced the button player to fold.
Marcus Liow continues his good showing and using an aggressive play to the hilt to take down pots. In the most recent one, Liow shoved his final 20,000 or so on a flop of 7♦ 7♥ 5♠ and everybody folded to take down the nice pot.
APT Asian Series Cebu 2015 Main Event champion Jojo Tech opened with 250 pre-flop and found four callers. The dealer flopped 2♦ J♦ 9♦ and Tech bet 600– two folded and two called.
On the turn 3♥, Tech checked his option, the hi-jack player folded his hand and the mid-position player bet 2,100. Tech raised to 6,100 and got the call to bring the river 10♥.
On the last card, Tech led out with 6,250 and was called by the MP player. Tech tables 5♦ 8♦ for the baby flush and the opponent mucked his hand.
On a raised pot with a flop of 6♣ J♣ 10♦ Marcus Liow and JR Villanueva were heads-up and both checked the turn 2♥ and river J♦. Liow shows J♦ Q♥ and it was enough to take down the nice pot
On a board of 10♦ 8♠ 6♥ 3♠ with a very large pot, Alvin T. raised a Linh Tran bet of 3,300 to 8,300. Tran called to bring in the river K♥. Tran moved all-in for his final 9,475 and Alvin T. folded his hand. Tran wins another big one in this Day 1B and has around 70,000.
