HomeHai Le Nhu was put to the test by past APT Main Event champion Takumi Samejima that led to Nhu earning a double up. Action preflop began with Nhu raising to 4k, Samejima three-betting to 9k, then Nhu calling but not before giving it some serious thought.
On the flop 8♣ 3♣ K♥, Nhu checked, Samejima bet 20k, and Nhu was once again in contemplation. He eventually opted to move all in for 31.1k. Samejima reluctantly called.
Nhu K♦ 5♦ top pair
Samejima A♥ Q♠
The turn 7♦ and river 5♣ further improved Nhu and he doubled up.
Not long after, Samejima was eliminated from the main.
